🌈 The Student Recreation Centre celebrates LGBTI+ International Pride Day 2026

On the occasion of the LGTBI+ International Pride Day, the Student Recreation Centre of the UPV joins once again in the quest for diversity, equality and respect by organizing a day of activities open to the entire university community.

The building of the Student Recreation Centre has become a space for meeting, visibility and celebration, promoting fundamental values such as inclusion, coexistence and freedom of identity. This initiative is part of the regular schedule of activities promoted by the House, which seeks to encourage active participation of students in relevant social issues.

🏳️‍🌈 Activities and participation We have carried out various participatory actions, among which were:

  • Installation of symbolic elements and decoration with the rainbow flag in different spaces of the building.
  • Information and awareness point on affective-sexual and gender diversity.
  • Collaborative dynamics and open activities aimed at students.

Participation has been very positive, involving both students and associations and groups linked to university life, reinforcing the open and pluralistic character of the Student Recreatin Centre.

💬 Commitment to equality With this celebration, the Student Recreation Centre reaffirms its commitment to creating safe, inclusive and respectful environments for all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

This type of initiative helps to consolidate the campus as a space for coexistence where diversity is understood as an enriching value for the entire university community.

📸 Share your experience We encourage all participants to share their photographs and experiences of the day on social media, mentioning the Student’s House, to continue giving visibility to this important day.

The “Entrepreneurial Challenges” Tour stops at the Casa del Alumno

📍 Today, March 25th, the Casa del Alumno is stop number 2 of the “Entrepreneurial Challenges” Tour

The Princess of Girona Foundation is holding an innovation session at our venue, where young people aged 16 to 30 are working in teams to design creative solutions for the recovery of municipalities affected by the DANA storm.

For 3 hours, participants have applied the Lombard method, an innovative methodology from Silicon Valley, to turn their ideas into concrete proposals. At the end, a jury will select the most promising initiatives, which will receive mentoring and training for six months.

This tour, taking place across various municipalities from March 24th to 27th, aims to promote youth entrepreneurship as a driving force for change and territorial recovery.

UPV Blood Donor Day 2022

Yesterday, 20th December, an act of recognition was held at the Casa del Alumno, by the UPV Alumni Delegation, to the students who participated as volunteers in the promotion of the blood donation campaign.

We would like to thank all those who helped in this initiative.

On Wednesday, November 16, the UPV Blood Donor Day will be held, during that day the ground floor of the Student Recreation Centre will be enabled to make a massive donation. The schedule will be from 09:00 a.m. to 08:00 p.m.

The aim is to make the university community aware of the lack of blood in the blood bank and the importance of donating for times of need. Daily 650 units of blood are needed to provide service in Valencian hospitals.

All volunteers of this activity must perform a 2-hour training workshop, on Wednesday, November 9, in Room Grades 1, in the Student House, from 12:00 a.m. to 14:00 p.m. If you have already done the workshop in previous years it is not necessary to come, although it is recommended to update and to participate in the organization on the 16th.

The main task of the volunteers is to support the dissemination and information to donors, to promote the activity to increase the donation.

And remember that all volunteer activities, move to a summation of hours of participation in the volunteer platform to then be able to recognize credits of free configuration.

It is necessary to register through the following platform.
