FIRST KEY ACTIVITY: FORUN
FORUN is, without doubt, one of they key activities of the University of Navarre. It is a Congress organized by students for other students in which they prepare written communications, videos and debates that they finally present to the public in the Congress' main meeting. To participate in FORUN you only need three things: to find a team, to choose a theme and to find a professor that wants to coordinate your work.
Every year, a lot of students from all the faculties participate in it and present projects based on different subjects. This year, the title of the Congress is Rethinking the future and, as you can see, you can work on almost any subject. This enables the student to learn about what he is interested in and this is what makes FORUN so special. In addition to that, FORUN enables students to have a first dialogue with a professor out of the class. As we think that this is one of the best activities that the University of Navarre offers, do not forget to visit our Blog or our Videos section where you will be able to find short extracts from UNAV Life - The Documentary, with more information about FORUN. |

SECOND KEY ACTIVITY: SPORTS' DAY
The University of Navarre celebrates the Sport's Day in each faculty every year. But, what is it?
The Sport's day is a day in which the University of Navarre allows its faculties to prepare many different kind of activities, such as competitions or talks. Everyone is invited to this magnificent event: students, professors, employees, families... They can all come to this celebration because, yes, it is a celebration and, moreover, it is free. The festivity is often held on the third weekend of September (the last one was on September 23 and the next one will be on the 22 of September of 2018). The main acts encompass competitions, dances (from sevillanas to more modern styles) and talks on special events related to the University or on sports, these last ones given by experts that are very interesting. The competitions are very varied: from football, to pin-pong, tennis, pool, golf... In case one wants to participate in any of these, they must sign up for it at the Sport`s Day section in the web-page of the University. Attenders can always find food stalls, as well as pubs or a patch of the enclosure where the giant paella is cooked. This event is a magnificent way to get to know the University, and also to do sports, so the only thing you have to do is to sign up for it and enjoy yourself! |

THIRD KEY ACTIVITY: THE PATRON SAINT DAY
In the University of Navarre, each faculty has its own Patron Saint Day, a day in which the faculty gives no classes and instead makes a celebration to commemorate its Patron Saint. In the case of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Patron is Saint Isidore of Seville, and to honour him, the Faculty organizes a series of events close to April 4, the day of the Patron. In 2015, for instance, that day was February 25.
To have an idea about what kind of activities one may encounter there, we can review how the last festivity days have been organized. In 2015 and 2016, to give an example, the day started with a mass at 10:00 in the Edificio Amigos, after which an Institutional Act (which in 2015 was celebrated in the Central Building) made up by a talk and the delivery of End-of-Degree Extraordinary Awards took place at 11:45. This was followed, at 12:15, by an Artistic Talent Program, and after that, at 14:15, by Lunch and Karaoke. The event finished, in both years, with sport activities in the Sports center, which in 2015 started at 16:30pm, whereas in 2016 it started at 16:00pm.
We can end concluding that the Patron Saint Day is, as we have seen, a very special event in which you can enjoy a lot of activities with your partners in an experience which you will surely never forget. We invite you to come next year!

FIFTH KEY ACTIVITY: SUMMER LANGUAGE COURSES
The UNAV doesn´t only organize activities during the school year. In summer you also have the chance to participate in various activities which are given by the University.
The number of those activities is so high that it would be necessary more than an article to describe all of them. Because of that, here we will focus on language courses. Those courses could be followed, for instance, in summer 2016, from 18 to 27 of July. They were English courses of B2 and C1 leven and preparation courses for the TOEFL exam. The courses were directed towards any kind of public, especially students and professionals, and lasted from 09:00 to 12:30. In conclusion, we can say that these courses show that the UNAV never stops offering activities and that, even in summer, you can enjoy some of them. |
