Campus Volunteering

El project Horizons was born with the name "Competences of Introduction to the University in Secondary: avoiding the social exclusion"as the winning project of the first edition of the University Social Responsibility Project Competitionorganized to promote and promote the social commitment of the UPF community.

L'goal of the project is to provide close references (Tecnocampus students) and some university strategies to high school students about what it means to study at university and how to do it through various skills such as:

• Contextual skills (What is the University? How is it organized? What can I find there?).
• Methodological skills (How do you study and learn at the University?).
• Information-oriented digital skills (How do I find information resources to do a good research job?).

In the 2019-20 edition, this competence development project aimed at first-year high school students will be carried out with an institute in Mataró:

•  the INS Miquel Biada

The participating Tecnocampus volunteer students have one central role in the project:

• They become the referents of the students of the Institutes.
• They transfer their knowledge and university experience to the service of high school students.
• They acquire a strong social commitment in a close environment.

Els main commitments acquired by Tecnocampus students participating in the project are:

1. Attendance at previous training at UPF.
2. Preparation of the sessions taught at the Institutes.
3. Carrying out the sessions with students at the Institutes at the time established by each center (one hour per week for 5 sessions).
4. Information to the management and tutoring teams of the Institutes of any unforeseen circumstances before or during the scheduled sessions.
5. Coordination with the UPF technical team that manages the project in the planning and monitoring phases.
6. Team evaluation during project development.
7. Collaboration in the organization and development of the final visit to the UPF of the students of the Institutes.
8. Individual evaluation at the end of the project.
