19 november: Healthy Workshop: Capacity Development and Gender Equity for Sustainability: The FAO elearning Center
Lab and science meetings are an attractive usual part of academic life. From Health Sciences Studies, an initiative (under the heading of ‘Healthy Workshops’) has been launched to meet periodically in the framework of research and innovation. Our meetings involve discussion of research related to the health sciences and other topics that may be of interest to a culture focused on the Knowledge Society and the use of digital technologies in different fields (education, health, etc.).
Our meetings provide an opportunity to share our own research as well as learn more about what our colleagues are doing; provide a venue for practicing presentation skills and providing and receiving constructive feedback in a supportive environment; and finally, provide a forum for communication about current progress, upcoming events and collaborative efforts.
The main purposes of the Healthy workshops are:
· To know the research that is being carried out in our university.
· To share ideas.
· To disseminate information.
· To nurture critical thinking.
· To foster a sense of participation and integration among all members of our studies and University.
Everyone is welcome to attend!

27 november: From Mexico to Barcelona, kitchen and women. From private space to conveying cultural heritage
Did you know that in Mexico, they use every part of the nopal, or prickly pear, roots, fruits and leaves? Come along and hack some of the traditional Mexican recipes with local produce in the workshop debate that we’ve prepared with Catalan and Mexican chefs.
While we cook, we’ll be promoting the value of traditional knowledge, connecting with the kitchen as a place for meeting and trust. We’ll also be talking about the colonization and decolonization of food and discussing cultural appropriation. To top it all off, we’ll be serving up political topics including food sovereignty and gender violence.
This activity brings together the project by a group of traditional Mexican chefs to recover the cultural heritage of their country and the cookery project promoted by visual artist Marina Monsonís with a group of women from Barcelona’s Barceloneta district.
Through a video screened in the workshop, the Mexican chefs will share and teach us recipes using a product we have readily at hand in Catalonia: prickly pear or nopal leaves.
We’ll be cooking with the group of women from the Barceloneta, while creating a space where we can share our thoughts on food as a political act.
Time: 04.30pm

29 november: Join in on Instagram: “The kitchen as a meeting place”
Do you cook as a family? Or with flatmates? What dishes do you cook for friends? Where do you cook? Our day-to-day lives often mean we cook alone, but sometimes, when we’re not in a hurry, we cook together and the kitchen becomes a place for socializing and meeting.
We want to know who you cook with and what your kitchen is like. Share your photo on Instagram with the #Right2FoodUOC hashtag and tell us who you like to cook with and where you do it.
