'Unissued Diplomas Exhibition' organised by IBEI and BSE Students

A team of four students from IBEI and BSE has been working together to organise an exhibition dedicated to honouring Ukrainian students who will never graduate because of the Russian war against Ukraine. They provided this exhibition to remind the world about the ongoing war and the price Ukrainians pay daily in their fight for freedom.

  • Venue: UPF Campus de la Ciutadella, Mercè Rodoreda building 24, 1st floor hall of IBEI

The Unissued Diplomas worldwide project is a tribute to the memory of all Ukrainian students whose lives and dreams were taken by the Russian war. The exhibition uncovers 40 stories of students who were killed by shelling or on the battlefield. Hundreds of their ideas and plans remain unfulfilled, and their diplomas remain unissued. In 2023, more than 100 exhibitions were held in 24 countries and hosted by 67 universities around the world. It is our honor to spread the life stories of the courageous students who could have been studying here with us if Russia hadn't started the invasion. We believe in taking action when the freedom of our country is at stake.

Within the initiative, there's the oportunity to honor the student's legacy via the Unissued Diplomas Endowment Fund to cover the tuition for one student per year or to provide scholarships and grants for projects.
