Buddies Program

Promotes the integration of international and newly arrived students at ISCAP by creating a supportive network among peers.

************ 

Through this program, erasmus students are paired with “buddies” - volunteer colleagues who help them adapt to academic, social, and cultural life at the institute.

In addition to logistical support, the Buddy Program fosters a sense of community, mutual help, and cultural exchange.

************ 

 Local buddies help newcomers adapt to life on campus and in the city, introducing them to authentic Portuguese culture and student routine at ISCAP.

Joining the Buddy Program is a unique opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills, build lasting friendships, and live a truly international experience.

************ 

We believe that genuine integration is essential for academic and personal success, and this program is the best way to make it happen.
