Help Ukraine

Help Ukraine

Esade, based on its Christian and Jesuit tradition, wants to express its active non-violent stance and its rejection of all armed conflict. Our global educational project is firmly committed to peace, freedom and a respect for International Law.

Included amongst our values and our own mission, Do Good. Do Better, is our aim to build a better world for all through education, research and social debate.

The Russian army’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a truly tragic situation and represents a new and difficult economic and humanitarian challenge.

Given this situation, our community, which consists of members from more than 126 different nationalities in a climate of mutual respect and integration, has become even more united as an example of diversity, social responsibility and solidarity, promoting and launching initiatives in support of Ukrainian society as well as the Russian population opposed to this war and who are suffering the consequences of their government’s actions.

Our institution, at both the academic and economic levels, is focused on providing help. We would thus like to encourage you to take action and support the various initiatives we will be announcing and updating on our website. If you have any questions about how to take part, please send us an e-mail: identityandmission@esade.edu

Spiritual support

In these uncertain times, we ask that in-depth dialogue serve as the means to resolve conflicts and restore peace. We are available to support all the members of our community who are traversing a difficult time. Please feel free to contact us: identityandmission@esade.edu

Prayer for Peace

With war touching us so closely, we want to call the whole Esade community to share an ecumenical prayer for peace in Ukraine and in memory of all those who have lost their lives in the war or are being seriously affected by it.
