We as the Department of Global Initiatives are committed to teaching foreign languages for the good of our entire community. With this in mind, we develop different teaching activities alongside our multiple partners. 

  • ICETEX: Through the ICETEX Language Assistants Programme, we work with native English-speaking assistants who develop activities and spaces for the whole Corpista community, strengthening the presence of English within our institution. 
  • Sprach Institut: Working under an agreement with Sprach Institut, which provides benefits such as special discounted rates for the Corpista community for German courses jointly developed under the agreement, in addition to different collective academic and cultural opportunities.
  • Participation in international events
  • Student mobilities (mobilities which provide institutional representation)
  • Misión Comfort Projectproject

Global Talks acts as a facilitator through which the Department of Global Initiatives organizes different talks, discussions, workshops and activities every two months in order to bring internationalization directly to the Corpista community. Make sure not to miss them!

For Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, it is important to foster spaces in which our community can learn to understand global issues and phenomena, while also promoting international experiences within our own community through diversity and inclusion. By way of putting the students at the forefront of this process, we identified the need to create a strategy in pursuit of strengthening the role these spaces play in university life.

Corpista Ambassadors seek to consolidate Corpas on a national and international level through student efforts. However, an Ambassador does more than simply represent the institution, also supporting the Department of Global Initiatives with distributing and providing information on new internationalization opportunities to the entire community.

Tasks undertaken by our ambassadors include:

  • Actively representing Corpas at conferences and events, in addition to distributing information about said events. 
  • Supporting and participating events organized by the Department of Global Initiatives. 
  • Providing support when external students and  teaching staff are being hosted by the university.
  • Giving campus tours at events.
  • Strengthening networking with students from other universities.
  • Promoting the Department of Global Initiative’s programmes to other university students. 
  • Being an active participant in the Ambassador’s Chat.

 

The main benefits of being a Corpista Ambassador are:

  • Elevated levels of access to the Grants programme.
  • An active role in accompanying international students, thus allowing you to strengthen your intercultural skills, practice a foreign language, and get to know different people from across the globe. 
  • The chance to attend and participate in different spaces developed by the Department of Global Initiatives.
  • Prioritization of your application if you would to participate in a mobility
  • Economic support during said mobility.
