Submitted by admin on Tue, 02/05/2017 - 12:47

Compartir Idees is an interdisciplinary service learning project at the University of Barcelona that has the support of the PMID. This consists of undergraduate and master's degree students preparing workshop lectures on topics of general interest related to the studies they are studying and teaching them in secondary schools in Barcelona, in a format of 20 minutes of information and 30 workshop and / or subsequent debate. In all cases, it is about sharing knowledge and talking about a topic that is being worked on at the university and that can be relevant to the training of high school students.

NOTE: Due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, the project will have another format with the intention of being able to continue offering this type of training to both university and secondary school students:

The Faculties of Fine Arts, Biology, Law, Earth Sciences, Economics and Business, Education, Pharmacy and Food Sciences, Philology and Communication, Philosophy and Geography and History are currently participating. This year we have a catalog with an offer of 27 training proposals in the artistic, social, humanistic and scientific fields.

Compartir Idees is a set of online training proposals designed by undergraduate and master’s students at the University of Barcelona on topics of general interest related to their studies. The aim is to share knowledge and promote reflection on a topic that the university is working on and that is relevant to the training of high school students. Aimed at ESO and Baccalaureate students.

This year the project adapts to the new situation of COVID-19. First of all, because the training proposals will be offered in online format (to be determined in each case). And secondly, because, for now, only proposals are offered for the first semester of the course (which will take place between November, December and January), with the aim of adapting the offer at each time of the 2020 course. -2021. The Sharing of Ideas is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. The numbers next to the title refer to the SDGs that frame and allow each of the training proposals to be worked on.
