Yesterday 11 November a new collaboration agreement between the Amigó Foundation and the Universitat de València was signed. Its aim is to renew the Luís Amigó Chair for the promotion of childreen, teenagers and young people.
From year 2013, the Amigó Foundation and the Universitat de València collaborate in training activities that have been materialised in the Master’s Degree MEPIAR (UV-Specific Master’s Degree in Evaluation, Prevention and Intervention with Adolescents at Risk and Child-to-Parent Violence), two courses of university expert and a certificate.
With this new collaboration agreement, born of the work made previously by both entities, the Amigó Foundation reinforces its bet for research in socioeducative intervention and the training of new professionals in the intervention with children, young people and families, and also the establishment of new methodologies to adapt to the current necessities of the people we are working with.
In the same way, through the Luís Amigó Chair, we have the objective of providing a cross-disciplinary training specialised in subjects of complex topical issues, which require an expert faculty and a vast experience in the sector of the family, childhood and adolescence. We also want to provide a structured framework of study, analysis, reflection and proposals regarding adolescence, its behaviour, its ways of socialisation and its familiar and relationship links of risk.
