Introduction to law

You don't have the right! What an injustice! Have you ever expressed yourself using these terms? What do they really mean? The seminar can give you an insight into what everyone should know: what law is, what it is for and in which fields it operates.

In the most practical, dynamic and useful way possible, we will discover our country's most important laws, we will see what they contain and the purpose for which they are made.

What fundamental rights and freedoms do we have as people and citizens of a social and democratic state governed by the rule of law? Why should I know Law if I don't want to pursue a career in it? Why study Law? What career opportunities are there in Law?

If you want to acquire the most essential and characteristic features of law in an active way, discussing current issues and simulating a trial, this is the seminar for you.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, business and sustainable development and neuromarketing

The goal of the seminar is to learn about the foundations of the future of the economy, Sustainability. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies: the currencies of the future? Neuromarketing; what is it, and how can it be applied? Sign up to explore the latest knowledge in economics.

Mural painting workshop

The workshop will mainly involve producing a painting on one of the school's walls. The final work will be the result of the joint action of the participants in the seminar.

You just have to take a walk to see how the walls of our city are full of writings, drawings, paintings and stickers. This seminar seeks to take a glimpse at the evolution of mural painting, from cave painting to the emergence of street art and its best-known representation, graffiti. Nevertheless, this is not a theoretical seminar, but an eminently practical one.

Sport and Faith

The Sport and Faith seminar is an inspiring experience that merges two core aspects of human life. During this seminar, we discover how perspectives on sport and faith intertwine to enhance personal and spiritual growth. Through the seminar, students will explore how the ethical values of sport, such as discipline, perseverance and charity, relate to the core principles of faith. In that regard, this seminar strives to inspire participants to find a balance between sport and their spiritual life, thus fostering holistic well-being and the development of strong values.

Speaking well in public

In an open and democratic society there are constant opportunities to speak. In academic, professional and social settings, people are increasingly being asked to be able to express themselves effectively in public.

This seminar is especially designed for students who, aware of the importance of speaking, want to improve this skill.

In the seminar we will spend time going through the most important elements of a speech and above all we will practice preparing and delivering a short individual speech.

Medical seminar

Medicine enables us to cure illnesses but also to enhance certain aspects of a person that can help to gain self-esteem. We can also correct defects suffered from birth or caused by an accident or trauma. It is a highly rewarding medical speciality as patients get better and feel more self-confident. It is a passionate world!

Live arts

Art and culture are intrinsic to human beings and are essential to life.

The live arts bring us the possibility of an aesthetic experience that moves and moves us and brings us closer to others. From its ethical approach, it offers us a common space and a rituality that shapes us as a collective.

Art, in itself and for the experience it can bring about in people, is in essence educational as:

· It enhances creativity. It enables us to understand and express our perception of reality.

· It develops people's core capacities, such as an interest in knowledge, the significant pleasure of effort, a critical sense, sensitivity and emotion.

By facilitating meaningful experiences through art, it can become transformative.

Access to culture and developing individual and collective creative capacities is a key right and a basic element of people's education. The school offers this direct contact with the performing arts to strengthen the link between culture and education.
