Presentation

The Solidarity Department aims to contribute to building a fairer world by fostering sensitive, active and organised social commitment within the University community. This concern leads us to work on some fundamental dimensions of solidarity: volunteering and citizen participation, development cooperation and ecology; this is carried out through volunteering, training courses and activities.

Coinciding with the start of the university year, Deusto is holding its traditional Volunteering Fair 2023. Its aim is to make the university community aware of the work carried out by volunteer organisations in Biscay and promote volunteering among young people. The aim is also to encourage students to work towards combining their university education with a social commitment in one of the existing local volunteer programmes at the start of the academic year.

SDG 7: 1. End Poverty, 4. Quality education, 5. Gender equality, 8. Decent work and economic growth 17. Partnerships for the goals
