ESSVA ACADEMIC ASSOCIATION

Judging by the number and quality of activities carried out by the ESSVA Academic Association (AAESSVA), no one would guess that this group is a mere 9 years old! It promotes an array of recreational and cultural events including the annual festivities of Student Orientation and the Ribbon Burning (Queima das Fitas) in Vila Nova de Famalicão, celebrations which rival any of the most famous student festivals in the country. AAESSVA also contributes to its local community by promoting and participating in a series of charity initiatives and health care fairs.

ACADEMIC TUNAS

The cultural and recreational activities of the CESPU, CRL, students include their participation in many tunas that represent the different institutions: Oportuna – Men’s Tuna at IUCS and ESSVS; Tuninas – Women’s Tuna at IUCS and ESSVS; Incognituna – Men’s Tuna at ESSVA; and Magistuna – Women’s Tuna at ESSVA. Oportuna is the oldest group and has won an impressive collection of awards over the years. It is known as one of the best tunas in the country. But above and beyond their awards and musical quality, the Tunas of CESPU CRL, arise from the joy and joviality of their performances and the comraderie and friendship between their members.

Contact the respective Student Associations for further information about the academic tunas.
