The ‘Fora de classe’ initiative at the Universitat de València has distributed €61,220 among 52 student projects for the 2025-2026 academic year. These grants aim to support sociocultural activities developed entirely by students, from conception to execution, thereby promoting participation and collective experience.

In the first semester, 19 projects received funding totaling €26,015, while the second semester saw €35,205 allocated to 33 proposals. The initiatives, submitted by individual students as well as associations, address topics such as migration, health, housing, equality, interculturality, diversity, sustainable development, and social transformation, alongside artistic and musical creation.

Among the highlighted projects is “Scroll bajo control,” focusing on digital mental health, and “Fent xarxes des dels marges” by the Aliança d’Investigadores Emergents Collective, which sheds light on the challenges faced by researchers in vulnerable situations. The La Filadora Collective proposes transforming the Josep Montaner Auditorium into a participatory cultural space featuring music with feminist themes.

Podcast and audiovisual formats are gaining traction, with initiatives like “Rolling The Music directo,” which combines a concert with podcast recording. Other podcast projects address Sustainable Development Goals, migration, and various other themes.

In literature and theater, the Improvisional Collective is promoting plays written, directed, and performed by students, tackling subjects like the consequences of war. Student reading clubs and publications such as 'Revista Oblivious' and 'Val/15' have also received funding.

Conferences, workshops, and congresses have also been supported, including the VI Queer Research Conference, the XIV Congress of Biomedical Research, the VII Gastronomic Congress, and various activities on alternative financing, housing, multiple intelligences, self-governance, mental health, social action, digital violence prevention, parliamentary simulations, and physics.

The ‘Fora de classe’ grants are promoted by the Student Delegation and managed by the Information and Student Dynamization Service (Sedi), with the collaboration of the Equality and Diversity Unit.
