Benefits of Membership

RECLA has defined lines of action and activities that will be carried out during the current year; where each partner university in the Network defines how to participate, generating an experience tailored to its reality and needs.

We consider two-way participation: a first to make visible and share university experiences in continuing education, and a second to learn and access new knowledge that ultimately contributes to the consolidation of continuing education units with quality standards, internationalization processes, and continuous process improvement, among others.

TESTIMONIALS

What do they say about us?

We showcase the authentic voices of our associates, who have transformed their perspectives and realities through continuous education.

Something I value is the Network professionalism, respect for the established times for meetings, events, and for the delivery of commitments made. Furthermore, I am very pleased with the growth you have had in many aspects, If we talk about numbers, today there are many more affiliated universities, more working commissions, more webinars, more articles published in the journal Retos y Claves, we have access to blogs, materials, and we also have high-impact projects such as the Peer Mentoring Program, the RECLA Awards, access to Scholarships in programs of member universities, and so much more.

Yo, I am very proud to belong to RECLA.

RECLA has us providing the opportunity to engage in discussions and reflections on trends, projections, and the future of continuing education in the world. These programmed spaces, as well as the courses training received, they keep us updated on the latest developments in the field.

Being part of RECLA and having participated in its XXVIII International Meeting in Barcelona, Spain, has given us access to a extensive network of professionals and experts in the field of continuing education and it has opened doors for us to collaborations, joint projects, and internationalization opportunities.

Participation in RECLA over all these years has been wonderful for both the university and for me, highlighting the following activities:

Sharing experiences with each other, knowing what other universities and countries are doing, and talking about this has been very important.
The mentoring sessions conducted, carrying out this process with other universities, sharing everything that is done at the university, has been very satisfying.
The meetings held each year, greeting each other, hugging each other, hearing about each other.

This and more has been fundamental to RECLA's growth over these years that we have shared.
