UMECIT actively participated in the Christmas Parade in the district of La Chorrera

UMECIT La Chorrera campus actively participated in the La Chorrera district Christmas Parade, becoming the only university to take part in this important community activity, which brought together children, young people, students, teachers and the general public.

The parade began at 5:30 pm, and the UMECIT delegation concluded its participation at approximately 8:45 pm, demonstrating throughout the route a high level of commitment, enthusiasm and sense of institutional belonging, strengthening the Christmas spirit and the social integration of the district.

This participation was developed within the framework of the “Hands that Transform” Project, a volunteer initiative of UMECIT, organized by the Extension Coordination, directed by Mr. Alexis Del Cid, with the collaboration of the Campus Coordinator, Mr. Ernesto Martínez, and the support of the Vice-Rectorate of Institutional Projects, led by Mr. Santiago Nieto Rueda.

The UMECIT delegation was made up of teachers, administrative staff, students and the general public, who with their presence reaffirmed the university's vocation of service and social commitment to the Chorrera community.

UMECIT's participation in these types of events highlights the importance of strengthening ties with the community and with the Mayor's Office of La Chorrera, an institution with which the university maintains a current agreement, promoting joint work, social projection and the integral development of the district.

As a highlight of the parade, UMECIT's Christmas float was created through a collaborative effort between UMECIT and CiniLab, combining creativity, innovation, and Christmas spirit. This project reflected values such as unity, hope, and the celebration of Christmas, and was widely praised and enthusiastically received by the community.

With this participation, UMECIT reaffirms its commitment to university social responsibility, the comprehensive education of its students, and its active presence in initiatives that promote culture, coexistence, and civic values.
