7 tips for Easter holidays with UCP

The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that this year's Easter holidays are quite different from previous ones. But they do not necessarily have to be bad! We have created a number of suggestions here to occupy the time in a positive way.

1 Catch up with your friends

...always by videoconference! We are all experiencing exceptional circumstances and probably experiencing very similar situations. Make a long distance, a close one: make an appointment and drink that tea or coffee you wanted so much with your friends, with each one around a different table. 

 

2 Update your list of series and films

You know that movie or that series that our friend said we "really had to see" but we never saw?! Well, enjoy it and really watch it. 
To make the choice easier, we left our movie suggestion again to watch in marathon mode.

 

3 Discover a new artist 

Don't be afraid to take a chance and meet new musical genres. You may discover authentic masterpieces!

 

4 Read the book you wanted so badly

Missing travelling?! Reading is one of the best ways to explore new worlds without leaving home. Try it! 
To help you, we challenged Marta Cravo from UCP's bookstore to choose her top 10.

 

5 Discover a new language

Why not surprise everyone at the next family reunion with a few words in a different language? Get ready to amaze!

 

6 Work out 

Nowadays there are a lot of professionals doing their training "live". In the living room, bedroom or office what matters is that you do not stop.

 

7 Cultivate yourself in virtual visits

At a moment when the whole of humanity is forced to be isolated, many efforts have been made to diminish the effects of this forced isolation. In one such effort, several museums have come together and opened their virtual doors. You can find some here.

 

Above all, stay home and have a great Easter!
