third.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the competitions, participants enjoyed a rich cultural programme designed to deepen their connection with the city, the region and Portuguese culture. Activities included an orienteering experience, promoting teamwork and exploration; a visit to Acad\u00e9mico de Viseu, offering insights into local sports culture; and the immersive workshop \u201cA Sensory Journey to Portugal\u201d, where students discovered the country through its five senses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In parallel to the Games, students also participated in a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) titled \u201cCommunication in Sports\u201d, which combines online and face-to-face learning. This programme, organised by EUNICE and hosted by IPV, is designed to develop key competences in intercultural communication, leadership and teamwork within a sports context, perfectly aligning with the event\u2019s European and collaborative spirit.<\/p>\n

The Closing Ceremony, held at the Aula Magna of IPV, unfolded in an extraordinary atmosphere filled with the contagious energy of the teams <\/span>and a strong sense of community. Students took to the stage to receive their medals and trophies in a moment of celebration, pride and recognition for their efforts throughout\u00a0the\u00a0five\u00a0days.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ceremony concluded with the symbolic passing of the torch to the University of Cantabria, the next host of the EUNICE Alliance Games, reinforcing\u00a0the\u00a0Alliance\u2019s\u00a0ongoing\u00a0commitment\u00a0to\u00a0cooperation,
\nmobility\u00a0and\u00a0collective\u00a0growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The EUNICE Alliance Games 2025 ended with enthusiastic applause, team photos and the shared feeling that participants left Viseu not only with results, but with unforgettable memories, new friendships and the true European spirit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
