The FAS launches #FemJustíciaGlobal campaign in which UAB students use short videos to get their opinions across and let people know how they have contributed to global justice.

This September, the Fundació Autònoma Solidària, with the support of Barcelona City Council, has launched a campaign on its social networks with the tag #FemJustíciaGlobal to raise awareness, through the use of specific examples, of how UAB students have contributed to Global Justice.

The six presented examples were selected from among the more than 40 that won prizes at the 5th edition of the Degree Final Project Awards on sustainable development and global justice presented by the FAS itself.

The protagonists briefly explain the problems that their projects tackled and the conclusions they reached, avoiding technicalities to ensure that they are accessible to everyone. The authors of projects on such topics as gentrification, extractivism, asylum-seeking and refugee processes, sustainability, anti-racism and environmental migrations get to explain their work in their own words. The FAS is aiming to bring down to earth a concept that often sounds distant and foreign to us, namely Global Justice, and to take it closer to UAB students and thus encourage more of them to dedicate their academic and research efforts to making a fairer world.

2021-2022 Call for the 6th Edition of the Arcadi Oliveres Prize for Degree Final Projects on transformation for global justice open until September 30 (inclusive).

List of published campaign videos:

  • Marta Amarillo, degree in Economics. Neighbourhoods as commodities: Gentrification in the Sants-Montjuïc district
  • Neus Navarro, degree in Sociology. The hidden face of aluminium in India. Social and environmental risks of extractive bauxite mining in India.
