Culture and Diversity

 

Learning about our university:What is the culture like at the  UPN? 

Sheryl Opinion:

To learn about the space we inhabit and our university, we conducted an activity focused on diversity and culture. For this activity, our professor proposed a topic that reflected one of the cultural aspects we can find at a university; in my case, the topic was "music and sounds." My classmate and I conducted a survey to find out what kind of music people usually listen to, what languages ​​they listen to it in, whether they've ever participated in music workshops offered by the university, and, my favorite question, "How does the UPN sound to you?" All of this was intended to understand how music impacts the university experience and how it allows people to understand the space they find themselves in.

I really enjoyed this activity; it was very interesting to see how the same space can look, sound, and feel differently for different people depending on the music they listen to daily. This activity allowed me to discover musical genres I had no idea existed, and I enjoyed seeing how people listen to such different things to relax and study. I learned a lot from this activity, and I am grateful for it.
