A shared path to Christmas
From December 1 to 24, the University lives its own Advent calendar: a journey of hope, solidarity and meeting that invites us to prepare our hearts for the arrival of the Child Jesus. Every day a new story, activity or gesture that brings us closer to the Christmas spirit will be unveiled. From the Christmas lighting to Tantaka's solidarity initiatives, crib and Christmas card contests, each workshop will be an opportunity to share the joy of waiting together.
