About us / Since 1994
More than a chapter at university.
We are University of Valladolid students who learn by doing, create experiences and connect with people across Europe.
Experiences built together.
01 / This is BEST Valladolid
By students. For students.
BEST Valladolid is a University of Valladolid association founded in 1994. We dedicate part of our time to activities that complement what we learn in the classroom.
We are part of BEST —Board of European Students of Technology—, a European network of local student groups. From Valladolid, we take part in this community and bring its opportunities to our university.
Student volunteering
Your time, your ideas and what we learn together.
Behind every activity are people who suggest ideas, organise, share responsibilities and find new ways to contribute.
02 / Our story
It started with a trip.
1994
Valladolid · Budapest
In 1994, a group of friends discovered BEST during a trip to Budapest. That experience inspired them to establish a local group in Valladolid.
Since then, successive generations of students have kept the association going. Projects evolve and people change; experience is passed on from one team to the next.
Today, we continue that story through events, training and shared experiences.
03 / Learning by doing
Some things you learn by getting started.
01
Organise a project
Turn an idea into an activity: plan tasks, coordinate people and care for the participants’ experience.
02
Work with others
Listen, give and receive feedback, share responsibilities and learn from different ways of thinking.
03
Develop skills
Practise communication, design, technology or company relations through the association’s projects.
04
Share what you know
Learn from other members and pass on your experience to those joining the group.
04 / A European connection
Based at UVa, connected to Europe.
Our local activities are connected to the University of Valladolid. We create experiences that bring together students, learning and companies.
The BEST network opens the door to courses, exchanges and meetings with students from other countries. We also welcome international participants to activities we organise in Valladolid.
05 / Everyday life
We are also what happens between events.
We meet to share progress, prepare activities and suggest new ideas. Some work happens remotely; some is simply about spending time together.
Life in BEST combines project work, peer learning and time together. Everyone finds a way to take part that fits their interests and their stage of life.
