On 18 June 1990, Catalan Parliament gave the go-ahead for the creation of a new public university in Catalonia, Pompeu Fabra University, inspired by the principles of freedom, democracy, justice, equality, independence and plurality. From its beginnings, this young academic institution set itself this main objective: to train responsible professionals and citizens fully committed to civic values.

UPF organizes a plan of theory sessions, which is the Sports Workshop, whose main goal is to offer a debate forum about sports and physical activities to the University Community.
I feel like UPF sometimes does not take in mind students. They are more concerned regarding the international prospectives and name that the university can have.
Good, but the two COVID-19 years have been tough, :( so I am looking for new experiences outside my country. My university made low effort in trying to make thing easy for us students, although the restrictions in Catalunya and Spain. It's been 4 estrange years and I felt abandoned by my university.
