A total of 210 international students participating in exchange programmes at the Universitat Jaume I have lived together with families in the province, mostly in Castelló de la Plana, through the Family Programme. The tenth anniversary of this programme, which seeks to promote coexistence and interculturalism, was celebrated with an event that gathered students and participating families on Thursday 15 December.

As far as 10% of the students who come to the UJI through exchange programmes with foreign universities participate in the Family Programme, thus favouring a coexistence that both students and families value very positively. At present, there are a total of 90 families from Castelló enrolled in the programme. Moreover, there are a significant number of families from the nearby that have transferred to the UJI their request to be part of the Family Programme. About 125 out of the 210 students participating in the ten years of the programme have received an scholarship granted through an agreement signed by Castelló City Council and the UJI.

The event was attended by the vice-rector for Internationalization and Multilingualism, Inmaculada Fortanet, who valued very positively the experience of a programme that promotes the understanding and friendship between different cultures and the internationalization of families in Castelló. Besides, Margarita Gonell, coordinator of the programme at the International Relations Office, offered a summary and balance from 2006 to 2016. The event also included a video and phograph exhibition about the Family Programme.
