UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
Thomism. New perspectives on the flesh
The seminar proposes a return to the Thomist tradition in order to extract from the texts of St. Thomas an anthropology that helps us overcome the modern distinction between body and soul. Enlivening the spirit with the contemplation of this beauty, illuminating the understanding with truth, and forging character with good deeds are the goals of this university gathering, which we will carry out with the help of leading specialists: Javier Rubio Hípola, Lucia Bissoli, Javier Aranguren, Salvador Antuñano, and Tomás Melendo, among others. We will meet every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
DANCING
We have launched a ballroom dancing activity at the university! The sessions are on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in room SÓT -1.1 of Building H.

Guided tour of the Prado Museum
On October 17 at 4 p.m., we will take a guided tour of the Prado Museum focusing on a specific theme: suffering. We will explore six key works of art history and what they tell us about our own human condition.
Opera for university students at the Teatro Real
Once again, the Teatro Real offers us the opportunity to learn more about how an opera works, from its initial conception to the performance of the work. This year, the activity will revolve around Benjamin Britten’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
