CIDUI Symposium: teaching identity in the AI era
Description:
On 13 March at the 10:30 a.m. the 15th Symposium of the International Congress of University Teaching and Education: "Teaching Identity in the AI Era" will take place at the auditorium of the UPF's Poblenou Campus in Barcelona. The meeting aims to reflect on the role of teachers in an educational context marked by the incursion of artificial intelligence.
The symposium will bring together professionals from various universities to analyse how these technologies impact the transformation of university teaching. In addition, there will be a debate on the ethical challenges and opportunities posed by the use of AI in this area, from the design of subjects and assessment criteria, to the relationship between learning tasks and the use that students make of this tool to solve them. The day will begin with a conference by Manuel Area, lecturer in didactics and educational research at the University of La Laguna, who will address the new challenges of the teaching profession in the era of artificial intelligence.
The CIDUI is an initiative organised by the Catalan public universities, including the UAB. The active presence of the UAB in the organisation and in the debates demonstrates the will to continue promoting a solid, shared and responsible reflection on the role of teachers in the time of AI. This edition of the CIDUI symposium also reinforces the UAB's commitment to teaching innovation and to the joint work of Catalan public universities to rethink teaching in a time of constant technological change.

BLACK: Opening Performance of the 1st Culture and Human Rights Week
Description:
Black is a stage dance piece based on improvisation and inspired by choreographic elements from key styles of the African urban scene, such as coupé-décalé, afrohouse, azonto and krump. With this work, the artist seeks to reflect on and express what it feels like to be a Black person within our “modern” society.
A reflection on violence and the emancipation of contemporary Blackness through a body that narrates, challenges and unsettles. A body that is, at the same time, wound and celebration.
Oulouy is an artist born in Ivory Coast and based in Barcelona, specialised in urban dance forms such as hip-hop, house dance and various modern African dances, including coupé-décalé and ndombolo, with a strong emphasis on freestyle.

The box office of the UAB Sala Teatre opens 30 minutes before the start of the performance.

BLACK: dance as a resistance and human rights movement
Description:
The inauguration of the UAB's Week of Culture and Human Rights, running from 16 to 26 March, will take place on 16 March at 1:30 p.m. with the dance performance BLACK at the UAB Theatre Hall. The activity is organised by the Culture Unit and the UAB University Social Responsibility project, with the support of the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Communication Studies and the UAB Fundació Autònoma Solidària, among other entities.
Drawing on episodes from recent history such as #BlackLivesMatter movement or the murder of George Floyd, Oulouy draws on his own life experience to explore what it means to inhabit a black body in Europe. Through languages such as krump, urban dance and modern dance, the performance articulates a physical and emotional response to discrimination, stereotypes and exclusionary dynamics. The piece has been part of programmes linked to anti-racist initiatives and social reflection spaces, reinforcing its political and pedagogical dimension. BLACK not only engages the viewer from an artistic standpoint, but also invites them to question social structures that often go unnoticed.
