1.General Rules

Attendance

Attending classes for the courses you have enrolled in is fundamental and mandatory. The training at Espai Philae is professional and implies a commitment that starts with not missing sessions. Students are responsible for being aware of the attendance rules in the specific training they are participating in. In case of any exceptional circumstances due to force majeure, it is also the student’s responsibility to inform the Academic Coordinator (Anna Masides) with sufficient notice. The absence of a group member may cause specific changes in the session.

   

Punctuality

For a smooth individual and group process, punctuality is absolutely mandatory. It signifies respect towards personal and fellow colleagues’ processes. Being present and prepared to work at the exact time the class begins is crucial. In case of emergencies, it’s necessary to notify the group assistant or the Academic Coordinator well in advance before the class starts.

All activities at the school must be carried out wearing tracksuits or leggings and without shoes. Shoes should be left at the entrance of the premises.

Students must behave professionally towards each and every participant in the training, including faculty members and Philae coordination. This involves respectful treatment even in the event of disagreements and/or irreconcilable differences of character or discussion topics.

Ethics

Attitudes or behaviours leading to physical or verbal violence are strictly prohibited. Any situation escalating to physical or verbal attacks towards any student and/or teacher at Philae or towards the school itself will lead to immediate expulsion and may be reported.

Device Usage

The use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited during classes. They must remain switched off with alarms deactivated.

Admission Rights

Anna Sabaté, the director of Espai Philae, reserves the right to admit or expel each student. In the case of expulsion from the training due to absences, lack of punctuality, and/or inappropriate behaviour within the established protocols (Ethics, Device Usage), as well as in case of withdrawal by the participant once the training has commenced, the course fee, which must have been fully paid, will not be refunded.
