It is the event in support of the Ukranian people that the University of Barcelona is organizing on March 10, at 4 pm, in the Paranimph of the Historic Building and on UBtv.
After the events unfolding in the wake of the war conflict in Ukraine, Europe and its universities have expressed their unambiguous and clear positioning: their support for the country under invasion and for dialogue as the means for conflict resolution. They also defend their scrupulous respect for human rights.
Journalists, academics, representatives of the third sector and Ukrainian students at the UB will express this positioning in the event organized by the University of Barcelona to support the Ukranian people, which will take place on Thursday, March 10, at 4:00 p.m. in the Paranimph, in the Historical Building.
The event will be live-streamed on UBtv, and it will feature three roundtables:
“The tale of peace”
