University residence
for students
in Pamplona

Next week our residents start their Easter vacations and we wanted to celebrate it with a typical meal of these dates, in which we have not missed the roast knuckle, the flamenquines cordobeses or the traditional torrijas! Thursdays are the day chosen for tastings, which the students are very enthusiastic about! This year we have had a selection of pinchos from Navarre, a buffet of Asian and Mexican food, and we have approached the gastronomy of the Basque Country, La Rioja, Catalonia, Andalusia and the Valencian Community. The palate can't complain!

The course does not give much respite. Midterms are on the prowl and our Mentoring programs are flooding the team rooms. The most active mentoring is that of Industrial Engineering, focused on preparing Physics and Drawing, two of the most "hard-fought" subjects. Mentoring in Biomedical Engineering and Telecommunications is also focused on the subject Signals and Systems, and Economics and Business is thoroughly preparing Accounting and Statistics. Cheer up guys, Easter is just around the corner!

One of the activities we like to promote is the Surgery Days for Students (JOICE). The main reason is that they are organized by the students themselves in the last years of the course. Medicine is the most present degree in our residency and we love to support our students with this event. We will continue to support JOICE.

Women's Day is always a date marked on our calendar. Last year we organized a literary meeting with women writers and this time we wanted to transfer the protagonism to our residents by organizing a Micro-story Contest. The winner was Uxue, a 1st year nursing student, with a passionate story that will not leave you indifferent (it is shared on our bulletin board).

Carnivals are always a good excuse for our students to "play at being someone else" and dress up in fun costumes. Throughout the day, cartoon characters, kings, princesses, monsters and even aliens paraded through the residence!

Our students are very proactive and this year they came up with a very exciting idea: to design their own Camplus sweatshirt. This initiative, promoted by the Camplus Student Committee, was supported by most of the students. The design, in a large number of colors, shows the residence building and the name of the students in each class. The students decided that, along with the purchase of the sweatshirt, they wanted to make a donation to the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Proud of our residents!

Valentine's Day is one of the most celebrated dates by our students, who take the opportunity to dedicate messages of affection and friendship on our giant board. It is a day that is also very popular among the most laminar people, who can enjoy the candy table and the valentinesque food. This year, as a novelty, we have brought a very special photocall, "The caravan of love", which has traveled throughout the residence!

One more year, we have repeated one of the star activities of the residence, the weekend in the snow. This time, as last year, we have moved to Formigal, one of the best winter resorts in Huesca. Our students have enjoyed the winter sports and the concert offered at the resort on Saturday afternoon. A great opportunity to play sports and socialize with friends from the resi!

This year we have participated again in the Global Game Jam with Creanavarra, which organizes the event in our facilities. During a frenetic weekend, our students have designed a video game in groups, with the guidance of teachers and experts. Students from the fields of Design, Programming, Engineering, Storytelling or Animation have enjoyed a fun and educational experience.

The beginning of the second quarter has brought us the incentive of the Rectora Basketball Trophy. We have the presence of a men's team and a women's team, who are giving their all in the tournament. The men's team was eliminated in the last game of the first phase, while our girls continue their winning trajectory. This team is going to bring us a lot of joy!

The Christmas celebration was very special this year. We have shared an exquisite meal with our students, in which nothing has been missing, neither the traditional lamb, nor the prawns or Christmas sweets. During the after-dinner conversation, we organized a bingo game, which the students were very enthusiastic about. The awarding of prizes to the winners of the bingo and the most Christmas-like door contest was the icing on the cake of an unforgettable afternoon.

This Christmas we wanted our students to be the ones to design the Camplus Christmas card. The competition has been incarnate! The winner was Ángela, a student from our sister residence, Camplus Sevilla, with a very Christmas-like interpretation of the painting "The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh. Angela has surprised us with her talent, a star is certainly born!

One of our students' favorite contests is "The Most Christmasy Door". Students decorate their bedroom door with Christmas motifs in a frenzied competition for the title of "most Christmasy". This contest is taking on such dimensions that this year, it was not only a competition between doors, but even between corridors! Voting was very close, especially between the third floor of block A and the first floor of block C, with our veteran engineers on the third floor finally winning out. Veteranship is a degree!

One of the novelties of this course is the Fit gipsy dance class. This is a fusion of fitness and flamenco, in which, in addition to burning calories, serotonin is released and tensions are discharged. It is an original and fun activity that uses resources such as the shawl, the fan or the club. There's still time to sign up!

This year's Halloween Party was dedicated to the Mexican Night of the Dead. On this day,
Mexico is full of decorative monuments, through which we pay honor to loved ones and to those we love.
deceased. The activity room was transformed into an impressive living altar, where our
students danced in amazing and terrifying costumes!

Soccer often gives you one piece of cake and one piece of sand. This was the case in the debut of our three men's 7-a-side soccer teams in the Rectora Trophy. Our benjamin team (Camplus C) has been defeated, while Camplus B has managed to draw in a disputed match, and Camplus A has won comfortably (hat-trick included by our captain). A good atmosphere and sportsmanship prevailed. And the Camplus family, as always, united!

Our students are the most animated of the campus and did not want to miss the opportunity to practice team sports and make a team! in the University Futsal Tournament. We have three teams of campluseras in the tournament, which pits the colleges and residences of the University of Navarra against each other. Our girls are full of enthusiasm and motivation. And they have a fan base that does not disappoint!

This year we also wanted our students to participate in the design of the menus, so that they can enjoy their favorite dishes. We are incorporating their proposals, which range from the most traditional, such as pasta carbonara or entrecote, to more exotic options, such as Arabian food!

A new academic year is starting and can you think of a better way to celebrate it than sharing dinner, music and dancing? The welcome party is an ideal opportunity for students to get to know each other, make friends and soon feel at home! We have celebrated it in our activities room with a special dinner and live music by DJ Mikel Carvalho. Of course, there was also a photocall to immortalize the best moments!

We love the Be the change project, an initiative of the Fabre Foundation that we are promoting in the residence. The students, organized in groups, must present the guidelines of a project with social impact, within four important areas: human rights, gender, interculturality and environment. The selected projects will be able to count on the training and resource support provided by the Foundation. Would you like to participate?

Camplus Pamplona's Mentoring programs are starting this academic year 2022-23. Mentoring in Biochemistry and Biology, Economics and Business, Medicine and Engineering. And next week we will present Mentoring in Nursing, as well as in Biotechnology and Data Science. At the end of September we will launch our youngest program, the Mentoring in Design and Artistic Creation. Start the new school year with your batteries recharged!

Among the novelties for this course are the urban dance workshops. Dancing is a very positive activity for the mood, which helps to release endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin, the famous happiness quartet! It also contributes to lowering cortisol levels (the stress hormone). Above all, it's a way to socialize and enjoy the "resi life"! This was the case in the first workshop we organized; the students were enthusiastic and are already asking for the next workshop!

At Camplus Pamplona we believe that Hatha-Yoga is a very healthy activity for our clients.

We begin the 2022-23 academic year with all the seats filled and the same enthusiasm as every year! We have planned a course

This Saturday we celebrated the 777Backstage, a non-profit fashion event. Attendees could contribute food for the Bank
of Food. It was based on a concept of inclusive fashion, with models that are not usually seen on the catwalks, because they do not
respond to the aesthetic canon or because they belong to vulnerable groups. More than 150 people joined us for this event, which was attended by the following
The event was enlivened by several music and dance companies.

This year the end-of-year party has been brought forward so as not to coincide with exams. We enjoyed a special catered dinner and live music by DJ Mikel Carvalho.

Once again, Camplus Pamplona participates as a sponsor in the Surgery Conference for Students of the University of Navarra.
Thanks to this agreement, four of the sixty medical students in our residency have been able to attend the master classes and workshops free of charge.

We wanted to celebrate Women's Day by organizing a colloquium with nine women writers from different regions of Spain and Latin America. During the colloquium, very interesting topics were discussed, such as empowerment and self-esteem, vocation and freedom, wave
creativity as a vehicle for communication and support.

Thanks to our partnership with the Fabre Foundation, we have organized two exhibitions aimed at raising awareness among our students in areas that are important to us. The first of these has focused on environmental protection and sustainable development; and the second on equal opportunities and gender vision.

More than 70 students from Camplus Pamplona have been encouraged to spend a weekend skiing in Formigal. The students really enjoyed the skiing, the conviviality and the atmosphere!

At Camplus Pamplona we love to celebrate Valentine's Day. During this day, our students can leave each other messages of friendship and
The mural of rooms that we placed in the hall. They were also able to take the memory of their most affectionate photos in the photocall and enjoy the valentinesca food and the "candy-table".

Camplus Pamplona has had a large representation in this year's Rector's Trophy of the University of Navarra with three 7-a-side soccer teams. Luck has been mixed, with one of them eliminated in the round of 16 and the other two teams reaching the quarterfinals. We are very happy for their effort and because they have been very well supported by their friends in the resi.

As in previous years, we have organized work groups by careers so that veteran students can support and help younger students academically. This year we have Mentoring in Engineering, Biotechnology, Medicine, Biochemistry and Biology, Law and International Relations, and Economics and Business. And as a novelty, we are launching Mentoring in Design and Artistic Creation!

We start the school year with a new gym and sports activities! Functional training, Initiation to Boxing, Pilates (medium level and hit), Hipopresivos and Hatha-Yoga. Every day of the week, you can choose! And on weekends, special activities, all of them very aerobic and, above all, a lot of fun! Master Class of Kangoo power, gluteus, or zumba, for all tastes.
