The Fundació Universitària del Bages has carried out an internal process—involving teaching and research staff as well as support and service personnel—to define its values, encompassing both its pedagogical model and the institution itself.
Artists from the "L'art de viure" (The Art of Living) occupational workshop at Ampans have interpreted the corporate values of the Fundació Universitària del Bages and the UManresa pedagogical model through this graphic artwork. This collaborative project has resulted in an exhibition and has been documented in this video.

Values of UManresa's pedagogical model
HUMANISM
UManresa trains professionals of integrity, concerned about the wellbeing of others, with the ability to recognise and value the uniqueness of each person. It places special emphasis on awakening their sense of justice and equity.

ACADEMIC RIGOUR
The University is an institution that values and respects knowledge. That is why, in its acquisition, dissemination and creation, students and teaching staff apply the scientific method in a rigorous and systematic way.
The university community takes a curious, critical and reflective approach to its surroundings; it tests and shares knowledge with the global scientific community.

PROFESSIONALISM
UManresa trains professionally competent, honest, upright and responsible people. It encourages students to focus on excellence and to apply professional standards in the workplace.
Author of the artwork: Lucas Jiménez
COMMITMENT
UManresa's pedagogical approach is designed so that students are aware of the need to bring their capabilities fully into play in the process of acquiring the knowledge, competencies and skills of their chosen profession.
Developing this commitment also involves taking responsibility for one's own actions towards others, whether from a professional or personal standpoint.

Corporate culture values
TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION
Dialogue, shared responsibility and leadership are part of the organisational culture of the Fundació Universitària del Bages – UManresa. These are elements closely linked to a way of working based on cooperation, in which people bring their knowledge, abilities and energy into play to achieve shared goals, both internally, within the institution, and externally, with third parties.

TRUST
Trust is the foundation of the relationship between people, both within the university community and in dealings with others. It involves a culture of active listening, openness to constructive dialogue and delegation of responsibilities, with pathways for people's development and spaces and moments for recognising effort and achievements
