About us
Our Story
Esade SUD’s origins can be traced back to our university’s early efforts in the development cooperation area. These began in the 1980s with faculty travelling to Central America to participate in local faculty training seminars and to teach in university master’s programmes.
Based on this tradition, we created Esade SUD in 2003 to make our community’s talent available to social enterprises, not-for-profits and institutions working for global justice in Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia and to further their work.
Fomenting education
amongst citizens from economically prosperous countries who are also highly sensitive to social justice and its promotion.
Strengthening institutions
in economically impoverished countries to ensure their work has greater impact and can be sustained over time.
Modelo pedagógico de Esade
Competentes (utilitas) La dimensión profesional: los valores de la profesionalidad. Personas competentes para dirigir y gestionar organizaciones y para desarrollar la praxis jurídica, que puedan afrontar con solvencia (profesionalismo) la toma de decisiones dirigida a una sociedad más justa. |
Conscientes (fides) La dimensión interior de la persona: los valores propios de la interioridad abierta a la dimensión espiritual, religiosa o laica, de la persona. “Mística de ojos abiertos”- consciente a la vez de mi vida interior y de la vida a mi alrededor. |
Comprometidas (iustitia) La dimensión ética, social, cívica y política: el valor de la justicia. Personas comprometidas en crear espacios de colaboración y mejora colectiva… en unas sociedades marcadas por las diferencias de recursos y de poder que generan desigualdad. |
Compasivas (humanitas) La dimensión personal: el valor de la calidad humana. Personas compasivas, empáticas con los sentimientos y los problemas de la gente que está a su alrededor. Capaces de alegrarse con los que están alegres y entristecerse con los que están tristes. Capaces de dejar su “ego” a un lado para poner a los demás en el centro de su atención. |
