 How to create a student community that goes beyond academics?
-==== Our problem ====
+'''Our problem'''
 At the UCU - Salto campus, the sense of belonging among students has decreased because many of them are pursuing semi presential courses, which has generated a disconnection with the student community and commitment to the campus.
-==== Our solution ====
+'''Our solution'''
 The proposal seeks to create interest groups where students can meet around topics such as sports, culture and the environment, promoting a sense of community.
 To facilitate communication and coordination, the use of Discord is proposed, allowing students to maintain constant contact and organize activities efficiently, complementing face-to-face activities and ensuring the participation of presential and semi presential students.
-==== Step by step for students ====
+'''Step by step for students'''
 Students choose an interest group that appeals to them (sports, trick, culture, etc.).A Discord channel is created where group members can stay connected and coordinated.In-person activities are organized every month, using Discord to plan and stay in touch.Validation of Interests and Activities:

 The proposal is to carry out a monthly activity for each interest group, which would result in approximately 12 activities per year. These activities would take place in the afternoons or on weekends, to facilitate everyone's participation.
