The Universitat de València has programmed a number of cultural and awareness activities in every campus to celebrate two important days for sexual diversity: 17 May, the International Day Against LGBTQIA+phobia, and 28 June, International Pride Day.

To celebrate the International Day Against LGBTQIA+, the Universitat de València has launched the campaign ‘La UV, la teua’, an initiative from the Advisory Council of student initiatives related to the LGBTQIA+ in the UV.The campaign aims to draw attention to the university as a safe, equal and inclusive space, by showing the existent diversity resources, especially between students. It consists of a series of posters that will be displayed in the different centres and faculties of the university, as well as videos that will be shared on the diversitats social media in the coming days.

Moreover, the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication, the Faculty of Geography and History, the School of Engineering (ETSE) and La Nau Cultural Centre will hold awards ceremonies, workshop and seminars, among other activities.

There will also be knitting workshops for creating rainbow flags, hosted by Las Ganchilleras Luchadoras (The Fighting Knitters) in the three campuses. There will also be multi‑coloured informative points in the university library lobbies.

The celebration will end the days following Pride Day (28 June), when the rainbow flag will wave on top of the university buildings.
