Universitat Comunista dels Països Catalans

The Universitat Comunista dels Països Catalans (UCPC) is a formative project constituted in 2007 as a political-education initiative based on four courses distributed over four years. Its stated objective is to serve as a tool to address the need for solid training in Marxist theory and in the key of the Catalan Countries. The project was born after a process of reflection around a need expressed since 1998 by the Esquerra Independentista (pro-independence left). The UCPC aims to seek a teaching proposal useful to all persons and organizations that, from trade unionism, environmentalism, neighbourhood associations, the factory, the countryside, educational centres, feminist struggle or any other framework of class struggle, are actively fighting for socialism and the independence of the Catalan Countries. It is conceived as a project whose purpose is to contribute to overcoming shortcomings and deficits in this field, helping to provide elements for the analysis and transformation of reality. To this end, the UCPC promotes a four-year degree with contents of progressive complexity and theoretical depth. Beyond its web portal, the UCPC has a virtual campus and also a digital library, newspaper archive and film library. It counts on teaching staff from various academic fields, such as historians, economists, physicians, farmers, philosophers and trade unionists. Its historical teachers include militants of the Basque independentist left such as Justo de la Cueva and Iñaki Gil de San Vicente, the professor of the Universidad Central de Las Villas Yodenis Guirola, and activists such as Josep Consola. The official website presents sections including News, The University, Who we are and what we want, We have participated in: training sessions, Financial charter, Dedications, Communiqués, Marxist Library, Film Library, Articles and Contact. The site also features a registration and login system. Recent highlighted content includes a dedication of the course to Josefa Úriz Pi, with a biographical note describing her as born in Badostáin on 15 March 1883 and deceased in East Berlin on 2 August 1958, a student at the Escuela de Magisterio de Madrid, who in 1914 took a post at the Escuela Normal de Mestres de Girona, was temporarily its director in 1919, received a scholarship from the Junta de Ampliación de Estudios to Brussels, and on 21 May 1921 joined the female Escuela Normal de Magisterio de Lleida as professor of Pedagogy, School Law, Anatomy and Hygiene, where her revolutionary methods clashed with conservative ideas.
