External internships are understood to be the training actions developed by a student within any public or private entity, national or international, with the aim of applying and complementing the training acquired. Bring the student closer to the business reality in which he will carry out the activity as a professional and develop skills that favor incorporation into the labor market.

Practices must take place in a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards the students or towards the other agents involved. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.
