The UAB Mentor Programme, an initiative by the Alumni UAB aiming to accompany final-year students in the development of their professional careers, is entering its third edition this year. On 19 November at 5:30 p.m., the Rectorat building will host a presentation event in which participating students will meet their mentors, people who come from the professional world. This year, there will be 155 student-mentor pairs.

The event will feature institutional welcome speeches from UAB Rector Javier Lafuente and Vice-Rector for Students and Employability Annabel Galan. Following the speeches, instructor Lluís Bernabé will lead the activity "Professional self-knowledge: Do I know what my relationship and communication style is?", in which participants will work on the DISC questionnaire, a self-diagnosis tool that helps identify relationship and communication styles in the personal and professional spheres. This activity will help them learn to recognise and adapt to different interaction styles and thus improve their ability to relate effectively.

After the success of the pilot experience in the 2022/23 academic year and the first two editions, Alumni UAB is launching the third edition of its mentoring programme this year, in which alumni with professional leadership experience will guide students to discover their potential, understand the job market, and develop an action plan for their future.

Benefits for mentees include improved knowledge of their skills, empowerment for their professional career, a greater understanding of their sector, and confidence in developing their action plan. In return, mentors have the opportunity to share their experience, contribute to the growth of new generations, and participate in ongoing training in leadership and communication skills.

The Fundació Autònoma Solidària's (FAS) health programme presents its new monograph, entitled "Sexualities: a look beyond the norm". The monograph on sexualities aims to bring to light the current debates that revolve around sexualities today, such as consent, its limits, sex work, the complexity of prevention, the need to broaden our perspective when talking about pleasure, desire and limits. In addition, it aims to share rigorous knowledge on the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections, unplanned pregnancies and abortion through knowledge of current preventive methods.

Sexualities are diverse and identity-based, that is, each person develops their own way of expressing themselves and relating sexually, and this shapes each being in multiple dimensions. For this reason, FAS proposes sessions focused on promoting a critical and reflective look at sexuality, including affectivity, pleasure, the diversity of gender identities and orientations, relational models, sexual and reproductive rights, and lines of prevention.

Sign up and enjoy a space in which to debate with a critical and gender perspective.

The workshop will take place on 17, 18, 29, 24, 25 and 27 November 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Price of the workshop to obtain 2 ECTS credits is 40 euros and prior registration is required on this link: https://www.uab.cat/web/formacio-i-credits/-1345873100143.html.

Description:

Kayed Hammad will visit the UAB to offer a conference entitled “Being an Interpreter in Palestine and Fighting Against Oblivion” at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting, open to the entire university community. In this session he will share his experience as an interpreter, fixer and filmmaker in Palestine, one of the most dangerous and media-exposed areas of recent times.

Hammad has worked for decades with international media in Gaza, where he has become an essential figure for journalists, especially Spanish ones, who report there. He is also one of the protagonists and promoters of the Menú de Gaza project, a series that shows the daily life of his family through the dishes they can prepare in conditions of war and scarcity. This project gave rise to the multimedia chronicle made by the journalist Mikel Ayestaran. In recognition of his career, Kayed Hammad has received the Valores Humanos José Couso & Julio A. Parrado Award, awarded by the Fuentes International Film Festival.

Hammad's life is deeply marked by the conflict: in 2024 he lost his eldest son in a bombing and, after many months trying to leave Gaza, he managed to evacuate with his family in 2025. He currently lives in Spain, from where he continues to collaborate on projects that give visibility to the reality of Gaza and the essential role of interpreters and journalists in war zones.

His conference will be an opportunity to learn first-hand about the situation in Palestine, as well as about the importance of interpreting and journalism in conflict contexts.
