"Catalan Summer University" in Prada

The XXXII edition of the Universitat Catalana d'Estiu (UCE) will be held between August 15 and 25 in Prada de Conflent. The first edition of the UCE took place in 1969 and has become the meeting point for Catalan democratic forces. Once the present democracy was instigated, its task was reconsidered and under the guidance of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans it linked formally with the Catalan universities grouped round the Institut Joan Lluis Vives.

The presence of the Balearics in the UCE this year is important. The closure will be presided by the President of the Balearic Government, Frances Antich. Others who will participate in different events are: Maria Antònia Munar, Pere Sampol, Damià Pons and Miquel Capellà. Joan Alegret, Bernat Joan, Josep Massot, Bartomeu Mestre, Llorenç Valverde and Gabriel Bibiloni will also participate in the courses. At the same time, Biel Majoral and Fora des Sembrat will perform; and a tribute to Guillem d'Efak will be held.

The professor of the UIB, Joan Mir, member of the rector committee of the UCE, is the person in charge of organising and facilitating the present of the Islands in Prada de Conflent. The attendance by the public of the Islands is subsidised in part thanks to contributions by the UIB, Sa Nostra, the Balearic Government and the Mallorcan Council.
