'Imagine' and the European University of Andalusia invite you to dream in Sohrlin

Sohrlin, the performing arts and entertainment space driven by Antonio Banderas and Domingo Merlín, starts the countdown for the re-launch of 'Imagine', the circus show by Cirque Des Sens that immerses the audience in a universe of fantasy and illusion. It will be on May 23 and will remain on the bill, for now, until July 27. But before that, this past Saturday, 'Imagine' offered a preview in the form of a special session for the European University of Andalusia, an institution with which it shares the same goal: to encourage dreaming.

The event, which was attended by more than 600 people, saw the presence of representatives from politics, society, and the culture of Malaga, as well as future students of the European University of Andalusia, which will open its doors next October 6 with 10 undergraduate and 9 postgraduate degrees. The rector, Daniel Hormigo, invited everyone to "never stop dreaming and not be afraid of making mistakes, because at the University begins a world full of possibilities that will allow each one to become what they want to be."

Before the performance of 'Imagine', a creation by Merlín and Banderas produced by Sohrlin, attendees could listen to inspiring testimonials from former Andalusian students of the European University who are now part of the management of leading companies in their respective sectors. Among them was Begoña Ibáñez, an engineer at Telefónica, who highlighted the importance of the practical approach and experiential learning with which she studied at the European University: "You are not just one more, you are always accompanied from start to finish." Also, Álvaro Roldán, a journalist, recounted that the University "gave him the key to understand the insides of television at the leading network through direct contact with its professors, always from the forefront of the sector."

Javier Martos, marketing manager at Red Bull, wanted to highlight the closeness of the faculty, which guided him to embark on a new path within his career in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. And Edurne Bengoa insisted on the importance of daring to live dreams from wherever one wants, in her case Malaga: "We must leave behind the idea that to succeed you have to leave your city or even Spain."

The 'Imagine Going Beyond' event has been the starting signal for the launch of the European University of Andalusia. With a differential academic model, based on experiential learning, and successfully established in Madrid, Valencia, and the Canary Islands, the European University of Andalusia arrives in Malaga with a campus of more than 27,000m2 that will host three faculties in the Teatinos neighborhood.
