relationship with the local environment

collaborations
awards
exhibitions

One of the objectives of the School is to be in contact with the cultural and economic environment, and this goal is met through a variety of channels.

One of these is the execution of projects in collaboration with different businesses and institutions. These projects are developed within the ordinary academic activity, in training courses, or in final course projects with work in which both students and teachers intervene. This is a very important area of work for the School as it means putting the students in contact with the reality of the professional world. The participation of students in contests where they can present projects they have developed in the classroom is also a frequent occurrence.

Another area of relationship of the School or Art and College of Design with its cultural environment is the exhibitions that are prepared during the final courses, where work developed within the centre itself is exhibited, or significant proposals by professionals.
