Devoted to the study of liberal education and its value
for the development of character and professional ethics
"The conversation around great books is an intellectual enrichment opportunity for high school and college students."
25 students from 9 degrees have participated in the program 'Leadership as Service'
The activity of the Civic Humanism Center is based on the conviction that universities have an important responsibility with respect to the current challenges of society. The subject of Education that they offer, when it is not reduced to mere technical qualification, can be a decisive means to improve life staff and social life. For this reason, the Center carries out research and transfer projects about what a humanistic Education brings to society, especially from the perspective of development character and professional ethics. The Center intends to create synergies with research groups already established at the University of Navarra, as well as to create or participate in international partnership networks.
