The Office of the Vice-principal for Territorial projection and Society has organised formative visits to several Valencian areas aiming to expand the knowledge of Unisocietat students on the cultural and natural heritage of the Valencian territory. The Vice-principal Jorge Hermosilla indicated that this initiative is intended to promote “collective learning based on experiences through fieldwork. This allows students to exchange knowledge, and promotes dialogue and collective reflection.”

The first trip took place on Friday 27 of April.  The students of Unisocietat-Alzira visited Requena. In this formative initiative, students will count with a specialised guide. They will walk around the city centre and visit Torre del Homenaje, the Cuevas, the Wine Museum... In addition, they will taste typical products of the Meseta de Requena-Utiel in a local winery.
