Yesterday, Wednesday, September 23, at 5:00 p.m., we celebrated an event on the ground floor of the Student Recreation Centre to welcome the new course and promote CALUMFEST 2026, the official welcome party of the UPV, addressed to all students of the Universitat Politècnica de València.

On October 2, the Student Recreation Centre (CALUM) and its surroundings will be transformed to host CALUMFEST, a day designed to celebrate the start of the academic year and foster coexistence among students.

From 18:00 hours will start the schedule of activities, with proposals such as beer pong, giant foosball, archery and many more surprises. Afterwards, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight, the music will be the protagonist, with two stages prepared to enjoy a late performance full of atmosphere and energy.

It will be an excellent opportunity to meet friends, meet new people and enjoy an activity designed by and for the university community.

More than 1,800 students.

Two scenarios.

A big welcome to the new course.

The Student Recreation Centre of the Universitat Politècnica de València is hosting the exhibition “Reserved Forecast. Artistic Resistances to the Climate Crisis”, a project that invites visitors to reflect on the climate emergency through artistic creation and social commitment.

The exhibition is part of the project “Clim-art: Young People Defending Global Climate Justice and Human Rights through Art”, funded by the Generalitat Valenciana and developed by ActionAid and Integra2 Mundo. This Global Citizenship Education initiative seeks to bring young people closer to the challenges of climate justice through artistic disciplines capable of fostering reflection, dialogue and critical awareness.

The exhibition brings together works created by students from the Faculty of Fine Arts at UPV that explore the consequences of climate change on particularly vulnerable people, communities and territories. Through different visual languages, the artworks show how environmental impacts do not affect everyone equally and how certain economic, colonial and extractivist dynamics contribute to worsening existing inequalities.

Under the banner of artistic resistance, the exhibition offers a critical perspective on dominant narratives that downplay the climate crisis and encourages visitors to rethink our collective responsibility in the face of a reality that is already here. The works invite audiences to question unsustainable development models, make situations of vulnerability visible, and explore new narratives centred on climate justice, human rights and human dignity.

“Reserved Forecast” turns art into a tool for denunciation, memory and social transformation, creating a space for collective reflection on one of the greatest challenges of our time.

Opening hours:
Monday to Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Venue:
Student Recreation Centre (Casa del Estudiante), Universitat Politècnica de València.

Admission is free.

Organised by: ActionAid, Integra2 Mundo and collaborating organisations of the Clim-art project, with the participation of the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Student Recreation Centre.
