The University of Colima has implemented various programs focused on cultural heritage and staff well-being. The institution inaugurated the ‘Camino de la identidad universitaria’ (University Identity Path), a guided tour of the central campus designed to introduce visitors to the university’s history and artistic landmarks, such as murals by Guillermo Roacho Landín and Jorge Chávez Carrillo, and sculptures by Rafael Zamarripa.

In addition to heritage outreach, the university launched the ‘Caminos de Encuentro: arte, naturaleza y emociones’ (Paths of Encounter: art, nature, and emotions) program. Staff from the General Directorate of Publications recently participated in this three-session initiative, which combined nature walks in Coquimatlán with socio-emotional exercises. Led by psychologist Francisco Javier López Pineda and Blanca Cilia Reyes Martínez, the sessions addressed stress and anxiety through self-knowledge and various artistic expressions, including music, literature, and film.

Expanding its mental health support, the university also held a workshop titled ‘Infusiones para la calma’ (Infusions for Calm) for staff at the University Psychological Care Clinic (CUAP). Facilitated by artist Sandra L. Uribe Alvarado and psychologist Patricia L. Murillo Chacón, the workshop utilized coffee painting and mandala creation to help psychological care providers manage daily stress and prevent compassion fatigue. This initiative is part of a broader care policy promoted by the General Directorate for Integral Development (DGDI) under a ‘Culture of Peace’ framework.
