BarcelonaSinLadrones.org – Initiative against Barcelona’s pickpockets

December 7, 2009

Hello everybody,

after starting the Facebook Group and talking to many people it seems there is a strong interest among the community to assist in the fight against Barcelona’s pickpockets and thiefs. Since we have launched this website even more people have been robbed, and in incident the thieves have also been arrested, so the trend continues.

In order to extend the reach of this initiative I have set up a website called http://www.barcelonasinladrones.org to gain more public access. Please sign the petition here to show your support and once we have more critical mass we can publicity from TV Channels and newspapers to some of which I have already spoken. However to get their support we need more subscribers. The ESADE MBA has already become the official sponsor of this initiative.Please contact me if you want to become an official sponsor as well.

Let’s show unity, spread the word and let’s fight the cause!!!

Looking forward to seeing your support!
Best regards
Tobias

15th of August – Festes de Gràcia

July 21, 2009

Message from Mary G. from the Admissions Team:

Greetings to everyone from Barcelona – welcome to those of you who are on your way or have already arrived!!


August 15th is the first day of a week-long (August 15th – August 21) neighborhood party in Barcelona called “Festes de Gràcia”, in which the Gràcia residents decorate the streets and organize music & events in their famous squares. For the past 4 years, we have organized a welcome dinner for incoming ESADE students, also open to current students in town for the summer, as well as some members of the Admissions team, to kick off the Festes de Gràcia.

Information/pictures from the 2008 event can be found here.

Usually a number of ESADE students, alumni and staff meet before the dinner to take a walk around the decorated streets, and often then find ourselves in the middle of a parade…to later meet the rest of the group at the restaurant. We will keep you posted here at MyESADEMBA.com.

Barcelona voted the 15th most liveable city! (FT)

June 14, 2009

The Financial Times published one of the liste of the most liveable cities in the world today. Barcelona was not only a newcomer on the list but jumped right up to the 15th place. Isn’t it great living in the 15th most liveable cities in the world?

The ranking was done by Monocle and it is not quite clear to me what were all the parameters taken into consideration but that doesn’t matter. It is great in any case! Viva Barcelona!!! :)

Actually I must say that I am very fortunate to have lived in four of this year’s 25 most liveable cities in the world, two of which I currently live in :)

Spanish Course – Student Benefit

March 26, 2009

A great benefit for ESADE students who do not speak Spanish is the intense Spanish course free of charge. The classes themselves of the ESADE MBA are in English however it is of vital importance to speak a little bit of Spanish when in Spain and working with Spanish. Therefore ESADE offers an intense Spanish course free of charge to the students and their dependants.

This course for beginners with no prior knowledge of Spanish actually begins prior to the MBA and lasts for two weeks. For those that cannot participate in person, the coordinator will send you by email the material that they have been treating during the class at the end of each day. This is a useful preparation of great use so you can start studying Spanish at your leisure despite not being there.
