This Monday began the U24 Fest, an event held with the intention of inspiring, educating and motivating the entire academic community to take concrete actions to protect and improve life in all its dimensions.
Open science, sustainable wave, culture and love are the axes on which the activities proposed for the U24 Fest are focused, organized this year by the Faculty of Human Sciences and the faculties of Physicochemical and Physicomechanical Engineering.
“We are in the body mapping workshop for the management of emotions and here we see how they influence our lives and how we do the management of situations. The U24 Fest allows these spaces to unburden ourselves of the academic load and give a touch more to our emotions, which is really important in our university life,” said Carol Garcia Camargo, tenth semester student of Bachelor in Elementary Basic Education.
Within the programming of U24 Fest ‘Ideas to protect life’ is ‘South of South’, a scientific and artistic experience of Antarctica led by Professor Julian Rodriguez Ferreira, who has represented the UIS twice during the Colombian Expedition to the ‘white continent’.
There is a photographic and literary exhibition and every day at 10 a.m. there will be a conference with a researcher on the subject and thus generate knowledge in the academic community.
“I am happy to be here, to return to my alma mater, I spent two years in Antarctica and it is a pleasure to show here the progress of the research that has been done. Being in that ecosystem is a privilege, not everyone can, not even with money, and it is important that the university community knows the work that is done there and the scientific research in the world,” said Idalyd Fonseca, a UIS graduate scientist.
The U24 Fest will run until Friday, November 1. See here the detailed program and remember that admission is free to any activity: https://u24.uis.edu.co/
