Who we are:
Equal is an association that seeks gender equality, the empowerment of women and the visibility of the feminist movement. From our point of view the university is or should be a safe and free space for all of us, as well as a community that supports each other. We wish to join forces and share ideas on how to move forward towards a society that is more inclusive and respectful. We welcome students from all degrees since we believe that everyone can contribute to make our society better and more just.
What we do:
- Events: We do events in which feminist topics such as equal pay and violence against women are discussed amongst the attendees and the panel guests. We have previously held an event on the laws that punish gender violence, in which criminal law professors discussed with the students who attended. We have also hosted female politicians from the different political parties in Catalonia to discuss the role of women in politics.
- Workshops: We have organised self-defence workshops for two years in a row and the attendees have been very satisfied with it. We intend to do one each year, however due to the current situation we have to rethink how we will do it. We are also thinking of doing workshops in which we learn about female philosophers. We are open to any ideas to do interactive workshops on feminist topics.
- Debates: We have also organised debates on matters such as the situation of women in Latin America with the help of female students who participated in the SUD program, as well as the impact of sexism in the labour market and politics.
- Movie Nights: We also have organised movie nights in campus and off campus in which we watched and discussed movies and documentaries about different feminist issues, such as women in law, and the evolution of the feminist movement.
Why should you join us:
In Equal, we seek students that are passionate about feminist topics and that are willing to contribute and participate in the association (assist to the meetings and help organising the different projects and events). If you are interested in feminism, committed to fighting for equality and collaborating to advance towards a more equal society, then Equal is the perfect association for you!

- TED×Esade. TEDxEsade mission is to share and provoke inspiring discussions among students and promote the development of tomorrow’s thinkers. Since the idea first sparked of a 2011 conference, TEDx Esade has aimed to act as a driver for inspiration for 8 years already. We identify with the TED mantra ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’ through actively seeking out the unexpected, the breathtaking, the daring and challenging messages conveyed though mind opening talks.

An informal Q&A session is held after their explanation, where students get to know everything they wanted to learn about them. We generally gather startups around a same topic, and we also make events in collaboration with other associations from Esade.
- Student Talks. Student Talks vision stems from the belief that inspiration is the first step towards action.
We want to shape a new generation of independent thinkers, who will solve the challenges of tomorrow. To face this difficult task, students need an alternative source of knowledge, one that breaks with traditional ways of learning. And this is where we come in. We connect inspirational people with those, who have an unfulfilled potential to impact the world in a positive way. Our goal is simple and humble: entertain everyone - inspire some - change the lives of few.
