The Association of Radio and Television Professionals of the Region of

Murcia held the 36th Antenas y Micrófonos de Plata Awards Ceremony,

where the University Platform for Peace of the UCAM was rewarded for its

aid to the victims and refugees of the war in Ukraine.  

With this award, ARTV Murcia recognises the work carried out by

the Universidad Católica de Murcia, which set up this platform in the

wake of this particular war , but with the aim to help those affected by any

war in the world. 

María Mendoza, Coordinator of the initiative and member of the expedition

that travelled to Poland to deliver humanitarian aid and materials to the

refugees, thanked ARTV Murcia for the award: ‘This is a push to continue

helping anyone who needs us. UCAM will be there. This is something my

father, the President of the university, has always said. We are here to serve.

He who gives, receives, and we have experienced this’. She also paid an

emotional tribute to Monsignor Javier Azagra, ‘who passed away eight years

ago today and is undoubtedly looking down on all of us Murcians from

heaven. He was an essential pillar for the University’.

She was accompanied by members of the University and the Platform, among

them, some Ukrainians who live in Murcia and who are an active part of

UCAM's solidarity initiatives.
