The Charity Dinner has been an initiative promoted for the first time this 2020 from EUHT StPOL as a solidarity project, but also as part of the student learning process.

A factor that aligns with the EUHT StPOL methodology: learning by doing.

Given the good results of the first edition of the Charity Dinner, the will is to consolidate it as an annual initiative that allows EUHT StPOL to collaborate with projects of entities of the third sector or of a social nature.
