The University of Murcia has presented this Thursday the activities scheduled for the second week 'Culture Es +', which will take place from February 10 to 14.

The program includes activities of music, poetry, theater, cinema, comics, dance, plastic arts and humanities, among others.

Paco Caballero, coordinator of the Culture Service, explained that this second cultural week includes activities from all the classrooms that make up the Culture Service and will take place in four epicenters so that students can learn about the different cultural spaces that the UMU has.

Specifically, these will take place in the University Social Center of the Espinardo Campus, in the theater and exhibition halls of the Merced Campus, in the Rectorate and in the University Museum.

"In addition, it is also important to point out the transversality of some of the activities that involve the collaboration of several cultural classrooms and that enrich the programming," he added.

As news regarding the previous year, a collaboration with the Regional Film Library is included to carry out an independent film series, as well as a theater competition in pairs that will take place on February 14 on the occasion of Valentine's Day.

Among the activities, there is a dialogue and poetry recital in which Luis Antonio de Villena and the winner of the 'Jaime Gil de Biedma International Poetry Prize', Juan Antonio González Iglesias, will participate.

In addition, guided tours and conferences related to the different exhibitions exhibited at the UMU have been scheduled during these days.

The coordinator has pointed out that although the University of Murcia organizes cultural activities throughout the year, "in order to bring students closer to the cultural activity of the institution, we decided that it would be positive to concentrate a large number of activities at the beginning of the semester coinciding with the end of the exams and the beginning of the second semester. "

For his part, the Vice Chancellor for Quality, Culture and Communication, Francisco Javier Martínez, has indicated that it is the obligation of the University of Murcia to contribute to the preservation, custody and dissemination of culture, and stressed that "in the last year, we have carried out more than three hundred cultural activities in which more than 50,000 people have participated.
