Bringing science and research activity closer to society has become one of the strongest commitments of Campus Gandia of the Universitat Politècnica de València. In this awareness-raising and dissemination campaign, continuing education undoubtedly plays an important role. These continuing education courses are a great tool for transmitting first-hand and in a practical manner, the knowledge generated in the university to anyone interested.
Once again, Campus Gandia will offer wide and varied range of continuing education courses this summer. It is the time of year where you can dedicate a little more time to yourself, enjoying your hobbies and also continuing to learn alongside other people that you share interests with.
The vast majority of these summer courses are offered by researchers from the UPV and other prestigious universities who have spent years focusing their efforts on the subjects to be taught..
Among them, Carlos Alberto Scolari, professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, will give the Transmedia Storytelling Worlds Design workshop, with the aim of teaching “how to think about transmedia and to develop a narrative in different media, in collaboration with users.” Or Chuse Fernandez Aldana winner of the Ondas Prize in 2012 and the European Commission MEDEA Award in 2013, who will teach the course titled Transmedia radio storytelling.
Tourism Management courses will also feature prominently, such as the course on Tourism Resource Assessment given by the UPV researcher, Pau Alonso-Monasterio.
