The UCCD initiative was presented at the University of Navarra on April 26

On April 26, the University Communities for Character Development (UCCD) initiative was presented to all those interested in promoting character development in higher education in the context of the University of Navarra. 

The event was attended by several university authorities, heads of different services and institutes, directors of colleges and university clubs, researchers in the field of character development, and a group of students that have been collaborating with some of the projects led by the UCCD team.

After a welcome coffee, Juan P. Dabodub and Aitor R. Salaverría, co-directors of the UCCD, explained the initiative, addressing questions such as the aims of the project, who is supporting this initiative, and which are the lines of work that have already begun or which are to be launched soon. At the end of the presentation there was time for conversation among the attendees.

One of the objectives of the UCCD initiative is to generate a community of practice in which academics and practitioners who are interested in promoting character development at the university level can meet and share experiences. Undoubtedly, this first meeting has shown there is an intense interest in generating this type of community at the university level.
