→ Knowledge of English and Spanish. It will not be necessary to present a language certificate.
In contrast, it is expected that the participants make an objective evaluation of their knowledge of the mentioned languages, so that they can participate actively in the activities of the Summer School.
 
We remind you that the interventions can be done in any of the two languages, so it will be enough to have advanced knowledge of at least one of them and communicate easily and follow the lectures in the other language, even passively.

→ 80% of all lectures and workshops are mandatory for a participant to receive a CERTIFICATE.
