A total of 12 projects have been funded under the PAS-PDI Call for Proposals, which address a wide range of issues with a strong social, environmental and educational commitment. These projects focus on issues such as biodiversity conservation, environmental justice and land rights, good living, mental health, the rights of migrants, transformative communication, combating hate speech and gender violence, as well as the strengthening of university capacities, among others. The projects are carried out in collaboration with universities and civil society organisations in Uganda, Morocco, Mexico, Chile, Tanzania, Colombia, Peru, Kenya, Argentina, and in Catalonia with the UAB. As a whole, these initiatives reflect the commitment to social transformation, sustainability and global collaboration from academia.
