UIC-UP “Armemos lío”

UIC-UP is a university group founded by students from a wide range of degree programmes on the Barcelona Campus, such as Humanities, Law, Audiovisual Communication and Business Administration and Management. The inspiration behind this group, which is firmly committed to vitalising life at the university through Christian humanism, is inspired in the words spoken by Pope Francis at World Youth Day 2013, "¡Armen lío!”, literally make yourselves heard.

The UIC-UP Group organises volunteer activities, musical accompaniment for the Chaplaincy Service, talks, outings, conferences, etc. While all members of the university community are welcome to participate, it is particularly aimed at university students. 

The group’s mentor is Father Albert Ribot, chaplain on the Barcelona Campus.
