Mundus has joined EAfA as an organization that works every day to improve professional training through internships in European companies.

Quique Miana, director of Mundus in Zaragoza, visits AXXEL, a Finnish VET center, with which we collaborate by sending and hosting vocational training students. This center is a benchmark in the training of VET students in the Nordic country.

At the end of the year, Mundus was one of the sponsors of the annual Ideas for Zaragoza debate, in which he presented a pilot project that will be carried out during the year 2019. Through this project, it is intended to enhance international knowledge of the city of Zaragoza, while seeking to engage its young people to be European ambassadors and ambassadors of the city.

VET practices. Asociación Mundus collaborates with Cankook, a restaurant in Zaragoza, which has welcomed foreign students who come to Spain to carry out the practices of their training cycle. From Mundus we want to congratulate you since you have been given your first Michelin Star.

Mundus has been in Madrid as a guest at the European Solidarity Corps event: volunteering and solidarity employment, organized by the Office of the Representation of the European Commission in Spain together with the Minister of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, María Luisa Carcedo. Our partner Ruth Palacios, Mundus volunteer coordinator, has participated in the My Experience in the European Solidarity Corps round table, together with young former participants in volunteer projects.

The students of the EMT Granollers Institute who had previously submitted their application to participate in the Erasmus + VET program to carry out their internships abroad have attended the interview round at the center to decide who will finally live a professional internship experience abroad.

Do you want to know more about her? Ahead!
