The activity was moderated by Carola Diaz de Lope Diaz, director of the School of University Leadership and first-hand knowledge of the social circumstances of people with disabilities.

In addition, we had the testimony of Dani Alonso, Alumni of the degree of physiotherapy with physical disabilities. He told us about his experience at the university, the social barriers he had encountered, the progress he had seen in this regard and the things that, in his opinion, still need to be done to promote and ensure the social improvement and inclusion of students with functional diversity at the university.

Later we held a round table with the participation of other speakers who, either from their own experience or direct contact with disability, had much to say about it.

They gave, from their own experience, answers to questions such as: What is disability for you? What has your life been like living with disability? How has society progressed? What remains to be done? What has disability taught you? What are the biggest barriers you face every day? etc.

We also had the representation of two students from the Avanza program, a project in collaboration with the Promiva Foundation and the Virgen de Lourdes School through which children with intellectual disabilities study adapted courses at the university, with the aim of providing training to improve the employability and university inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities.

It was a great opportunity to give a voice to people with disabilities in the university environment, raise awareness of their situation and reflect on what remains to be done socially to improve their quality of life
