The morning session (9:00 to 12:00) featured brief talks and interactive group dynamics, fostering open dialogue and shared learning. Speakers included experts such as Beatriz García Ortega, Javier Galán García, Rosario Perelló Marín, Conrado Carrascosa López, and Ciaran Armstrong.
The event provided a warm, reflective space over coffee, reinforcing UPV’s commitment to sustainability and more responsible models of production and consumption.

Since March 25 till April 4, Casa del Alumno has been hosting the Unissued Diplomas exhibition, an initiative that honors Ukrainian students who will never graduate due to the war. The exhibition highlights the stories of 40 young people whose lives were taken by the Russian invasion, emphasizing the heavy toll Ukraine pays daily in its fight for freedom.
This exhibition has traveled to institutions worldwide since its creation in 2023, aiming to keep the memory of these students alive and raise awareness of the war’s impact on education.
The spirit of Fallas was felt strongly on March 10, 2025, around the Student House. At 2:00 PM, a spectacular mascletà (a traditional Valencian firecracker show) was held, gathering dozens of students and university community members. The thunderous sound of fireworks filled the air, marking the beginning of a day full of tradition.
After the pyrotechnic display, the university’s Fallas Queens paraded through the campus, accompanied by the rector’s team, including several vice-rectors, as well as representatives of the Student Council. The parade, which passed through the Palm Walk and the Central Plaza, delighted attendees with traditional music and the vibrant spirit of Fallas.
This event, organized in collaboration with the university’s Fallas community, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to Valencian culture and traditions.

From the Student Recreation Center, we join the commemorative events of the 46th Anniversary of the Spanish Constitution.
46 years ago, on December 6, 1978, the Constitution was born as a symbol of equality and freedom, laying the foundations for building the Spain we are today: a modern, diverse, and pluralistic country.
The Constitution belongs to everyone and is for everyone. It is essential that the entire citizenry, especially the younger generation, knows, appreciates, and feels the Constitution as a text that belongs to all generations.
