The Barcelona Science Park was the setting where teachers and students from the Icloby Foundation gathered to close their training programs on a high note. From April 22 to 26, more than 50 participants attended an event that, year after year, is described by those involved as unique and unrepeatable.
In 2024, the Foundation once again offered three training programs that are now coming to a close and will also be available in 2025: the سيد دولي في التصور الإضافي, the الدورة الدولية المتقدمة في دعم الحزن والمرافقة, and the الدورة الدولية المتقدمة في الوعي والقيادة الاجتماعية. The Foundation’s goal is to merge these three programs during this week so that students from each course can broaden their academic perspective by sharing content, instructors, and experiences with each other.
This distinctive approach to learning is a hallmark of the Foundation. Regardless of the program in which a student is enrolled, everyone eagerly awaits what is known among them as the “In-Person Week.” As a further bonus, alumni are invited to attend this event again—completely free of charge and as many times as they wish.
Despite the hugs, camaraderie, good humor, the joy of meeting after months of online interaction, engaging in conversations with their instructors, and socializing after hours, the academic rigor is not compromised. The schedule is packed with engaging lectures, and students present their Final Course Project before a formal jury.
For the instructors, this week is also a highly demanding event, given the expectations of the students and the opportunity for closer feedback on the impact their teaching has had.
As in previous years, renowned professors such as Dr. Pim van Lommel, Mikel Lizarralde, Lourdes Pérez B, Montserrat Fonts Salas, Rosa Torras Barris, Belén Tarrat, and of course, Dr. Xavier Melo and Dr. Luján Comas—the founder and president of the Icloby Foundation—will be present, offering lectures in person.
Below, some of the most important moments from this event.
