Shaping the future with soft skills

Last Saturday, March 29th, our Social Work students played a pivotal role in organizing, executing, and presenting an innovative project focused on training adolescents in soft skills.

This initiative had the valuable support of important allies such as Lions Club, Panama Lidera Foundation, and American Christian School, who contributed to the success of the activity and the positive impact on the participating young people.

More than an academic experience, this project strengthened the social commitment of our students and enhanced the collaborative learning, reaffirming the principles of our educational model. The activity was articulated by the Social Work coordination, academic direction and extension direction, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the training of future professionals.

The adolescents developed essential skills for their personal and professional growth, while our Social Work students reaffirmed their role as agents of change in the community.
