COLLABORATION AGREEMENT WITH IES MIRALCAMP

Villarreal CF and IES Miralcamp de Vila-real, as entities with common interests in the field of comprehensive education for people, especially adolescents, have a collaboration agreement that serves to establish joint lines of action to enhance the importance of an education based on the acceptance of individual differences and the valuation of these as a personal and social enrichment. Thus, the two entities have taken a further step in their relationship, collaborating in the comprehensive training of students. Many yellow youth squads have been studying at the IES Miralcamp in Vila-real for some time, taking advantage of the fact that it is located just a few meters from the Sports City.
