During the week of 7th-11th December, 229 students from three Basque universities (the Deusto University, the UPV/EHU and the Mondragon University) had the opportunity to participate in Social Action meetings through several interactive virtual sessions with six organisations from Biscay that work with the objective of generating a positive social impact through their projects.
This initiative forms part of the Bizkaia Talent Talentia Skills programme, which will run for four years. Its purpose is to develop the students’ cross-cutting skills, guide them during their training phase and proactively bring them closer to companies and the different leading sectors of the Basque Country.
The organisations participating in the social action meetings were:
- GET TRAINED. Training centre offering a personal and professional development programme through artistic creation for people with a physical and/or intellectual disability.
- CÁRITAS BIZKAIA. An organisation that works to promote the overall development of peoples and towns, especially the poorest and most excluded.
- 3D SOCIAL MOVEMENT. Comprehensive social consultancy that assists public and private institutions in the design and development of social innovation initiatives.
- LECTURA FÁCIL. Project that works to bring reading closer to people with reading difficulties.
- LANTEGI BATUAK. Not-for-profit organisation that generates employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Biscay, to achieve their inclusion, maximum development and quality of life.
- CRUZ ROJA BIZKAIA. Voluntary humanitarian institution that works in the fight against climate change, violence against women, loneliness, support for migrants, working with vulnerable groups or the immediate response to emergency situations.
Variety of training courses
Throughout 2020, the students from year 2, 3 and 4 have participated in group coaching sessions, as well as workshops on strategy and determination, assertive communication or optimisation of the LinkedIn social network, etc.
