Morientes: “Combining sports with education will help train leaders in Peru”
César Vallejo University and the Real Madrid Foundation strengthen their educational alliance with events in Trujillo, Lima, and Cusco.
The César Vallejo University (UCV) and the Real Madrid Foundation continue to strengthen their educational alliance in Peru through a series of academic meetings and institutional activities held in Trujillo, Lima, and Cusco, with the participation of Fernando Morientes, former Real Madrid player and ambassador of the Real Madrid Foundation.
During his visit to Trujillo, Morientes highlighted the impact of this collaboration on the development of leaders through sports: “This alliance will help many people become leaders in such a wonderful country as Peru. I wish I had had the opportunity to access initiatives like this when I was younger,” he stated before students of the Vallejo community.
In Lima, the event “Leadership and Values in School Education” reinforced the message that sports are a key tool within the educational process. “Combining sports with education is essential to create opportunities and transform realities,” affirmed the ambassador of the Real Madrid Foundation.
Dr. Kelly Acuña, executive vice president of UCV, emphasized the scope of the agreement between the two institutions: “This alliance stems from the conviction to train leaders with values on and off the field, in classrooms and in life,” she noted, highlighting that more than 80,000 students and 25,000 physical education teachers have already benefited from the program through the Sport Values Academy platform.
Meanwhile, Adrián Silla, director of the training area of the Real Madrid Foundation, underscored the social focus of the agreement: “We are not only aiming to train athletes, but also to build citizenship based on positive values that foster personal and professional growth,” he stated.
As part of this institutional agenda, UCV Virtual inaugurated its decentralized office in Cusco, during a day of dialogue and inspiration that included the participation of Fernando Morientes, Dr. Milagros Miranda, general director of UCV Virtual, institutional executives, educational leaders, and representatives of the local press.
This new office represents a key step in strengthening the presence of virtual education in the region and continuing to connect more Peruvians with real opportunities for professional development, reaffirming UCV’s commitment to accessible, innovative, and nationwide education.
