Socio-Emotional Learning Model

Único Integra

Our socio-emotional model runs through the syllabus and through administrative work: it is not a separate activity, but the way we understand the building of socio-emotional skills across the whole institution.

1 The character strengths test, through which each student recognizes their social and emotional skills.

2 The Compassion System, which guides how we relate to and support one another within the institution.

3 Positive psychology as an approach: starting from what each person already has and building on it.

4 Its translation into the syllabus and into administrative work, so that support does not depend on individual goodwill.

Student Representation

Your voice matters

The Student Committee is made up of students from every semester, together with the student representative and the Wellness and Community officer.

1 It organizes the logistics of ideas, events and institutional, recreational and sports activities.

2 Annual student representative elections with the participation of the whole academic community.

3 The Student Representative sits on the Academic Council and other collegiate bodies of the institution.
