At the UFV we offer specific integration activities for exchange students. Although UFV offers a great amount of activities along the semester, at the International Relations Office we have made a selection of those we believe will be of more interest for our exchange students:

MENTORING PROGRAM

It consists on 4 individual meetings with a UFV mentor to help you out with your exchange stay. The content of these meetings are: learning to look into things more deeply, getting to know one-self better, making the most of your stay by setting some goals you want to achieve, and being aware of the possibility of building a better world through your own existence. Free service. Contact: c.vilallonga@ufv.es. More info and application here.

 

 

BUDDY PROGRAM

We will put you in touch with a Spanish student that is willing to welcome you and meet international students. He/she will introduce you in Madrid’s life and customs and make sure you feel like at home in your new environment. Free service. Contact: c.vilallonga@ufv.es. More info and application here.

 

 

DRAMA FOR COMMUNICATION

3 hours/week at the UFV campus. This course is focused in acting exercises such as improvisations, concentration games, preparing short scenes, doing body training, too, in order to improve one’s own communication skills (expressing one-self, working with others, etc.) having fun. It’s a great way to meet both international and Spanish students. Free service. Contact: c.vilallonga@ufv.es. Apply here.
