INTRODUCTION

    The "Training of Character" courses are based on the works of Carles M. Espinalt, who created "Psychoesthetics" and developed numerous innovative theories that allow us to understand the modern human character situation and the disorientation that is suffered, as well as having an incommensurable practical repercussion, as much in the psychological world as in the teaching world.

    The lack of character of the majority of people that lead our modern society demonstrates the existence of a teaching incapacity to train people with solid leadership skills. Often, the lack of character can result in profound personal and collective crises. The techniques that have been used until now to prepare leaders, are obsolete. As such, "Psychoesthetics" defines, methodizes, and applies new concepts to avoid the teaching routine and whatever type of degradation that could affect the human personality.

    With the intention to promote new leaders and professionals that will attain the capacity to confront modern leadership crisis's, these courses apply "Psychoesthetics" to the life experiences and private goals of each person, as they offer an individualized assessment. The following are some of the initial programme themes:
