The countdown is on for UABFM16!

The FM was conceived to unite the university community and create a space for all of its members to share experiences and activities. The FM festival focuses on the staff members, the students and student societies as the main figures of everyday life on the UAB campus. You will get to enjoy the UAB’s cultural programme and political spirit on the different stages that are being set up across the campus.
 
Former UAB Sociology student and transsexual activist Miquel Missé will start the festival off with an opening speech in Plaça Cívica. Missé was the first student to ask to be treated according to his sexual orientation rather than his physical gender. Under the motto of this years’ FM “Fora la LGTBIfòbia de la UAB” (Stop LGBTI-phobia in the UAB), the opening speech will raise awareness of the LGBTI group and the difficulties they permanently face.
 
In Plaça Cívica you will also find the Entities Fair and plenty of performances by such student societies as the castellers group Ganàpies and Swing UAB. There will also be plenty of activities on the Resource Center for Student Societies stage and the Hotel d’Entitats stage. And in Plaça del Coneixement there will be more than 50 student stalls selling food and drinks and lots of activities organised by student societies and UAB class groups. There will also be music performances on two stages in Plaça del Coneixement. Everyone involved in the FM should help to make it a safe, non-sexist and involving festival.
