The Espai de l'Estudiant (Student Space) fair in Valls, a key event for southern Catalonia, will achieve a new participation record with 71 visiting educational centres and 67 exhibitors. Nine of these exhibitors are participating for the first time, according to organisers.
Organised by the Institut d'Estudis Vallencs through the Consorci Pro Universitari de l'Alt Camp, the fair will bring together information on post-compulsory education. This includes university studies, intermediate and higher vocational training, artistic and design programmes, language courses, marketing, continuous training, scholarships, accommodation, pricing, and academic and professional guidance services. It also covers other services for young people and proposals related to employment.
Expanding Educational Opportunities
The fair's 67 exhibitors, from across Catalonia, expand and diversify the educational offerings available. This strengthens its role in helping students make academic decisions. The addition of nine new exhibitors shows the fair's growing appeal and dynamism.
Seventy educational centres have already booked visits online, confirming the increasing interest in this annual event. These centres come from various areas of Camp de Tarragona and Terres de l'Ebre, as well as other parts of Catalonia, establishing the Espai as a significant regional fair.
