In this mobility experience, which took place from 4 to 8 November on the UAB campus, the students will be working on specific challenges. In the first challenge, entitled Tackling the Housing Crisis: Strategies for Lowering Rent in urban communities, the 18 students participating proposed measures to the Terrassa City Council to solve a real problem: high rental prices. The students proposed solutions to guarantee access to housing and stability for residents. In another challenge, 15 students worked on Climate change and migratory movements, with the aim of identifying up to what extent the effects of climate change are causing new migratory processes at international levels.
