Program

Note: This International Week will occur at the same time as a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) called ¡Belonging Starts Here! A Journey into the Ways We Connect, Include, and Grow Together. Some sessions will combine both participants from the International Week and the BIP, when the sessions are relevant for both.  Students from Master of Psychology and partners from the project Collaborative Pathways to Inclusive Education – Microcredential Programme (T4EU) will be invited to participate.
