A COUNTRY I´D LIKE TO VISIT: PORTUGAL 🌞

-

Last summer one of my closest friends from school went to visit her relatives in Portugal. Since then I wanted to visit it too. And who knows? Maybe live there for a couple of months to enjoy the calm of the beaches in winter and do hiking in some of their national parks.

But first things first, Portugal is one of the 3 countries in the Iberian Peninsula and although it is not very big it has 943 km of coast (in the continental territory), beautiful vineyards and fascinating cities like Oporto, Evora and Lisbon.

When I think of it, I imagine myself getting off the plane in Lisbon, the capital, ready to walk for hours and hours through its narrow alleys from the Tajo river to the viewpoints on the hills. I would also like to take a ride on the tram Eléctrico that goes around the city and reminds me to troles in Valparaíso, my hometown.

Another place I wouldn´t miss for anything in the world is the Palácio Nacional da Pena in Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European continent. I think is the perfect place to watch a magical sunset over the Atlantic Ocean!

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO AFTER THIS QUARANTINE?

  I must be honest, I think is so difficult to know whether the pandemic is an opportunity to improve society or not, because it doesn’t imply just are actions, also the measures taken by the government and world leaders. And as I couldn’t decide I will keep it to a more personal level. The lockdown has had a major impact in my life. My levels of anxiety during the quarantine had increase a lot. As everyone else I was worry sick, I found myself away from my family and suddenly we were extremely vulnerable to this virus and all the social and economic consequences of the pandemic. At first, I tried to save as much money as I could and follow morning routines that keep myself together. And it worked for a while, but after a few months I was exhausted, anxious and full of responsibilities that I could not fulfil. So, when the total quarantine in Santiago started a month ago, I decided to take things more slowly and I rediscovered hobbies and other things that make me feel more opt...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME 👩‍🎓

  I´m a social work student so our academic curriculum is pretty new. When the career was reopened in 2015, the academic programme was incredibly innovative and fresh, up to date with the latest theorical and practical developments in Social Work around the world. Contrary to other majors, we didn´t have to push for gender and environmental courses to be in the mandatory curriculum. Still, there is always room for improvement and constructive criticism. In the first two years of the career, also known as basic cycle, I would try to reduce the contents of the disciplinary courses associated with social work in order to focus on building a good theoretical and historical basis for what we do as professionals. During the specialty years, I would change the order of some classes. For example, Social Issues and Inequalities should be in the third year, not in the fourth one. This would allow to continue the formation of socio-economic analysis of social phenomena immediately after the...
