Comillas promotes the learning and development of young people with its summer camps

17 July 2024
Throughout these first months of summer, Comillas has held various camps attended by students from 4th year of ESO to 2nd year of Baccalaureate. The different programmes are designed to promote learning and the development of skills in different areas, creating an educational and enriching experience for the young participants.
ICADE Campus for Justice and Debate
This initiative, organised by the Faculty of Law (Comillas ICADE), focused on the development of argumentation and public speaking skills, essential for any career related to law and social sciences, and one of the strengths of the university, thanks to its successful Debate Club. Students had the opportunity to participate in mock trials and debates, learning from experts in the field and developing their critical and analytical skills.
This campus, organised by ICAI, is the longest-running of all those organised at the university. Through robotics, artificial intelligence and digital design and with the help of different initiatives, students have been able to develop technological solutions to current problems, fostering an entrepreneurial and creative spirit.
European Union and International Relations Campus
During the five days of this programme, the students had the opportunity to experience what it would be like to work in the European Union. Assuming different roles and representing the European institutions, they were able to understand, in a closer way, the functioning and dynamics of the European political system.
United Nations International Politics Campus
An immersive programme in which students delved into the world of diplomacy and international relations. They have tackled issues related to current global politics, discovering how the UN and its institutions work and carrying out simulations of the work carried out by the main governing bodies.
All campuses are organised in collaboration with the Salvador Soler Foundation. The profits obtained from these campuses are reinvested in aid for society, specifically in scholarships for students at Comillas and in cooperation projects of the Salvador Soler Foundation in Benin. Undoubtedly, these campuses are an experience that revolves around what their future professions will be and that will help them to take the next step in their educational career.
