Our students and professors have many project for the cooperation between you: Heritage and Environment, Environment and Cultural of Peace, for example. We have experience in the Education for the Sustainable Development.

The last 21 of September was a great ecological festivity. At 8.00 am all, before the class, make an act of reflection for the peace. At noon, in every students groups, again they talk about the present problems of peace in the world and about Environment.
