Conference on “Talent with Social Impact”

The Talent with Social Impact Conference combines the presentation of the 9th Arcadi Oliveres TFG Awards for Global Justice and the 7th UAB Service Learning Conference.

These awards aim to give visibility to students who dedicated their Final Degree Project to analysing and proposing solutions that contribute to social transformation.

The event will be hosted by Maria Bouabdellah, a journalist graduated from the UAB and presenter on 3Cat.

The event will begin with an inaugural round table and explore how the work of the awardees connects with current debates, activism and education for global justice. Several UAB alumni will be participating: Namar Alimbau, Global Justice Education Technician at LaFede.cat; Alaaddine Azzouzi, anti-racist activist and journalist at 3Cat; and Marta Benosa, activist for the defense of the territory. The session will be moderated by Oscar Tercero, student at the Faculty of Communication Studies and editor at UABmèdia.

The best Arcadi Oliveres Final Degree Projects (TFG), focused on Global Justice, and those developed with the Learning and Service methodology will be awarded. The award-winning students will present their research and the social impact they have generated.

After the event, there will be snacks and refreshments and a Fair of Entities - Service Learning will be held. There will be stands from entities from the social and environmental world, administrations, etc. that will publicise the opportunities for teaching staff and students of service learning at the university.

This event is organised by the Fundació Autònoma Solidària and the Office of Learning and Service of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), with the support of the Barcelona City Council.
