Endorsement of an analysis of Study Abroad options in Madrid by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
We are thrilled to share exciting news about the recognition our Climate Change Summer School program has recently received! A comprehensive study on Study Abroad Options in Madrid by Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, showcased in a recent poster presentation at NAFSA 2024, identified SpaCIE’s Climate Change Summer School as a leading option for international students. We could not be prouder of these findings, which highlight the exceptional value and unique advantages our program offers.
In a competitive landscape where students are increasingly seeking meaningful international experiences, robust academic standards, and affordability, SpaCIE’s program stood out in key areas. The survey conducted for the study focused on seven attributes, and we are honored that our Climate Change Summer School was acknowledged as the example of the option “short-term intensive courses through local non-university providers,” which is the top choice in four critical categories:
Degree of International Experience
Our program immerses students in a truly global environment. They interact with fellow students from around the world. This offers exposure to diverse perspectives on climate change. This international experience is unmatched, providing participants with the opportunity to engage in rich, cross-cultural dialogue.
The following table shows the 26 countries of origin of the 97 students we have had in the four editions of the program.
Opportunities for Building Independence and Self-Growth
The short-term, intensive nature of the program fosters a sense of independence. Students are encouraged to navigate a new cultural and academic landscape, building self-confidence and personal growth along the way.
Cultural Immersion Opportunities
Madrid is a vibrant cultural hub. Our program is designed to guarantee students not only learn about climate change but also experience Spanish culture firsthand. Students join in field trips to local landmarks and cultural engagements. They leave with a deeper understanding of both their academic studies and the city itself.
Affordability
For students on a budget, SpaCIE’s Climate Change Summer School is an ideal choice. With lower tuition fees and a streamlined experience, our program offers high-quality academic and cultural experiences without breaking the bank.
Furthermore, the study concluded that local non-university providers like SpaCIE offer the best value for budget-conscious travelers. Our Summer School combines affordability with a rich educational and cultural experience. As a result, it is the perfect choice for students seeking international exposure without the high costs of some third-party providers.
At SpaCIE, we believe in offering more than just a course. We provide a transforming experience that blends top-tier education with the opportunity to grow, both personally and professionally. The recognition of our Climate Change Summer School as a leader in international experience, cultural immersion, and affordability is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Endorsement of the selection committee of the CMCC Climate Change Communication Award
Last year, our Program was also recognized internationally. We competed for the CMCC Climate Change Communication Award. This award focuses on innovative projects and initiatives that deliver engaging messages and communicate climate change in education, advocacy, media production and social engagement activities. All continents participated in the 2023 edition of the CMCC Award, with a total of 52 countries among the projects. We made it to the list of 183 eligible projects out of a total of 372 applications.
