The UAB is organizing, for the first time, the artistic and inclusive week "Art with and for everyone" -coinciding with the World Day of People with Disabilities which takes place on December 3- in the Sala Teatre de la Universitat the next 29 and 30 November and 1, 2 and 9 December. There will be a show every day at noon (open to the whole community, just register in advance).

The General Secretariat and the Office of the Vice President for Campus, Sustainability and Territory of the UAB, within the framework of the University Social Responsibility (MSW) and Healthy and Sustainable Campus projects, together with the Center for Studies and Research for an Inclusive Society (CERSIN ), and with the participation of the Observatory for Equality, the Fundació Autònoma Solidaria-PIUNE i Cultura organizes a whole week of inclusive artistic performances in the Sala Teatre.

The aim of this week of shows and activities, presented by associations and entities dedicated to the process of inclusion with people with social vulnerability or functional diversity through art, “is to raise awareness among the university community about the process of 'inclusion by showing how it works in artistic environments', explains UAB professor Josep Maria Sanahuja, from the Center for Studies and Research for an Inclusive Society (CERSIN), a UAB research group that is carrying out the project “INARTdis-Fostering social inclusion for all through arts education: developing supports for students with disabilities”.

Organizers want to explore inclusion strategies, publicize their work, and show the importance of being proactive agents in the development of a fairer society.

The people who make up the companies that will act represent the diversity of society, whether it’s because of gender, different abilities or backgrounds. Professor Sanahuja emphasizes that the aim is to convey "how art helps to create inclusive environments".

The companies that will perform, from Monday to Thursday, are La Xixa Teatre, Liant la Troca, Teatre Nu, Fundació Aspace and Suso Espai, which offered theater, dance and music shows as well as an exhibition.
