Full Sail University has just released “Planning 2025” for partner schools. Currently, around 22,000 students live and study at the university based in Orlando, in the United States, according to data from the institution itself.

According to information released by Full Sail, the main events scheduled for next year will be “Creativity Marathon”, “Electives” and “Tech Fest”, all 100% online and free. The “Careers Of The Future” project is also highlighted, and will be carried out over several months in 2025.

Carol Olival, Community Outreach Director at Full Sail University, says that “Careers Of The Future” is an elective project that lasts several months. Throughout the year, the teacher guides students into the universe of creative areas, a process that involves hours of class and certificates, among other elements.

“With the end of the year in view, we positively evaluate the projects and actions that were carried out by Full Sail in 2024”, says Olival. “It is gratifying to be part of moments in which young people support each other to develop a delivery, be it any approach, but they are there to ‘make it happen’ – and everyone was successful”, he states.

For 2025, according to Olival, among the institution’s main objectives, Full Sail hopes to continue the projects addressed in 2024. “Every year, we change the approach to technology and teaching. Therefore, some changes may be made for the better”, he points out. “What we want is to continue providing information about the creative world and investment in professions of the future”, he adds.

Full Sail University offers undergraduate and graduate programs specializing in entertainment, arts, technology and media and has an international team on campus, along with representatives located in several countries around the world, including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Trinidad, India, China, Mauritius, South Korea and Vietnam.

“In Brazil, Full Sail supports partnerships and aims to inspire institutions, families and, especially, high school students, bringing practical experiences to different learning contexts”, explains Olival.
