Young people from Germany, Spain, Mexico and Tahiti shared their experiences and lifestyle with students of the Journalism major at the house of studies.

Generating a cultural exchange between exchange students and those studying Journalism at the University of La Serena, was the objective of the activity organized by the ULS International Relations Office, where young people from Germany, Spain, Mexico and Tahiti spoke about the realities of each of their countries, together with the experiences lived during their stay at the University.

The activity was attended by the Academic Vice Chancellor, Dr. Alejandra Torrejón, the Vice Chancellor for Economic and Administrative Affairs, Dr. Armando Mansilla, the Head of the International Relations Office, Mg. José Mora and the teacher and Academic Secretary of the FACSE, Mg. Carolina Rodriguez.  

"For the University, having young people from other countries due to the student exchange is very important because a cultural change is generated with our students that helps them appreciate things through another perspective," said the Academic Vice Chancellor regarding the participation of exchange students in activities like this one.

For the Mag. José Mora, meanwhile, it is relevant to generate instances of this type, where diverse cultural and professional experiences are shared. “It is important that the students of our house of studies can learn about other realities that live in other countries, thus complementing the professional training that the University gives them today,” he said.

Regarding the experience of doing an exchange semester at ULS, Sara, an exchange student from Germany, commented that "it has been a great experience, people are different from people in Germany, people are closer here and friendly, and in terms of academics here the classes are more focused on the practical, unlike there where everything is theoretical”.
