1,913 University students earn 33,721 hours for the XV Solidarity Study Olympiad
Every hour of study will be converted into one euro to support the school reintegration of minors victims of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The University of Navarra, through TANTAKA, has contributed 33,721 hours to the XV Solidarity Study Olympiad. The sponsors of the Olympiad, organized by the ONGD Coopera-Cooperación Internacional, will convert each hour of study into one euro to finance the project 'Watoto goes back to school', an initiative that seeks the school reintegration of minors who have been victims of armed groups and armed conflicts that are still active in South Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Through this campaign, in which 1,913 students from different Schools and schools of the academic center participated, the aim was to raise awareness among young people about the importance of access to Education in underdeveloped countries.
Of the total number of hours added by students at the University of Navarra (33,721 hours), 20,017 hours correspond to the libraries at campus in Pamplona; 3,140 hours to TANTAKA-TECNUN, at campus in San Sebastián; and 10,564 hours to university halls of residence and clubs.
