Objective
The objective is to carry out activities related to disseminating preventive resources in the field of gender violence and male chauvinist violence at UV.
During one week, the team of volunteers will be focused on the Welcome Week programmed by the SEDI (UV Information and Promotion Service).
Taking advantage of the huge success of the Welcome Week, you will visit the different UV campuses and locations to reach as many students as possible.
The selected students will spend some mornings working with other volunteer students supporting the information points on the campuses and dynamizing the student groups with different proposals of participation. Their inclusion may easily foster the connection with foreign students visiting the information desks.
Welcoming visiting students
Special attention will be paid to the reception and escorting of students from the FORTHEM Alliance visiting the UV fair, by appointing specifically designed volunteers who will be closer to them at all times.
