Two complementary training programs are offered: first, vLACE is an executive course aimed at leaders of education centers. It is given one day a month for 9 months, at the Madrid campus of the University of Navarra. Secondly, the PRIMED Institute is an intensive one-week course for leadership teams in Pamplona. Both can be taken independently. However, PRIMED is an ideal opportunity for leaders who have just completed vLACE to integrate their teams into the character initiative they wish to start in their communities.
Trainings offered by the School of Education and Psychology at University of Navarra, in collaboration with the Center for Character and Citizenship at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and with the support of the Templeton World Charity Foundation.
An initiative whose purpose is to promote character development in education centers in a strategic and intentional way, offering its leaders the keys to carry it out in their communities.
