The idea that gives life to the project is the conception of the campus as a “planet”, where all points of view and all visions are of great value and importance. In this way, a series of activities and awareness-raising actions are carried out on relevant topics such as the culture of peace, sustainability, the environment, interculturality, change and transformation.

These activities have a multidisciplinary character, which allows the exchange of ideas, debate and reflection among all university actors, with special emphasis on teachers, researchers and students from different subject areas and levels (degrees, masters, doctorates, faculties, etc.).

Planeta UAB is inspired by the elements of nature that many ancient cultures used to explain the world. These are different types of energy that are permanently interacting with each other. Based on them, a communication, training and awareness-raising strategy has been designed based on the following thematic pillars: 

– Water: Symbol of life, calm and well-being, it represents education in values and the culture of peace as a great challenge for our societies.

– Earth: Conceived as a space of crossing, mixing and interaction, it represents the interculturality that defines our societies and, therefore, our university.

– Air: From its meaning as a current or breeze that cleans places, it represents sustainability as a decisive and urgent challenge for our societies and the planet in general.

– Fire: Understood as the emission of light and heat, it represents the change and transformation that all societies need to advance and improve.

The project has the support of the Fons de Solidaritat of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and is directed by Santiago Tejedor, director of the Gabinete de Comunicación y Educación. Cristina Pulido, Laura Cervi and Diana Sanjinés from the UAB Faculty of Communication Sciences; Buenaventura Guamis from the UAB Faculty of Veterinary Medicine; and José Carlos Remotti from the UAB Faculty of Law also collaborated in the project.

The Gabinete de Comunicación y Educación and the Arab Academy for Science Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) have organised this space for academic exchange, characterised by learning through practical workshops, which seeks to promote intercultural dialogue. The inaugural event, which took place on 15 July, was chaired by Cristina Pulido (Serra Húnter lecturer in the Department of Journalism and researcher at the Gabinete), Samy Tayie (lecturer at the University of Cairo), and Sally Tayie (PhD, UAB and collaborator at the Gabinete). The students listened to lectures by Jordi Gili, telecommunications expert and international speaker, on ‘Leadership in the hyper-connected world’, and Carolina Escudero, PhD in Social Psychology, on ‘Communication and emotions’.

During their stay in Barcelona, Egyptian students will strengthen their communication and audiovisual skills through theoretical classes and practical workshops related to writing for the media and audiovisual and mobile communication. As part of this programme, students will be required to develop and present their own audiovisual projects. They are also complementing their studies with cultural visits to the city and other activities.

The agreement between the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Arab Academy for Science Technology and Transportation of Egypt aims to foster intercultural dialogue and synergies between the two institutions.

For Santiago Tejedor, principal researcher, “the guide is conceived as a particular cartography, which seeks to delimit different territories and thematic scenarios where communication, education, science, culture and technology are interconnected and offer innumerable ways of learning and growth. This document is to be conceived as an unfinished dialogue or as an unfinished journey”.

Among the guest authors are Gabriel Jaraba, Felipe Chibás Ortiz, Laura Cervi, Cristina Pulido Rodríguez and Diana Sanjinés, who reflect on Unesco’s MIL university cities, the university as intercultural dialogue, gender equality and interculturality in educational spaces.

The guide also analyses the different activities in which Planeta UAB: El viaje al otro – Iguales en las diferencias has collaborated:

– The Journey to Peace, IX Conference on Communication, Travel and Adventure, and IX Conference on Disinformation and the Environment.

– Disinformation and the Environment Conference

– Day in defence of information

– The Invisibles. New Ways of Walking and Telling the World, 10th Conference on Communication, Travel and Adventure

– UAB Planet Hackathon  

In addition, from November 2020 to May 2021, a survey was carried out among 221 UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) students to analyse day-to-day life on the university campus. They were asked about the relationships established between students and teachers and their perception of different topics such as gender, religion, learning, the use of technology in their studies and students’ rights.
