In the area of training, 50a50’s work is focused on feminism, female leadership and the empowerment of women. Specifically, we carry out these activities:

• Feminist reading club: The 50a50 reading club sessions take place monthly at the Llibreria Documenta (Pau Claris 144). Directed by Anna Mercadé, Cristina Oliva or Mar Gaya, these sessions promote discussion and reflection on feminist works, a lot of the time with the participation of the authors themselves. They are reserved for 50a50 members or friends interested in the association.
• Member training programme: Here is where you can find the cycle of workshops on female leadership organised throughout the 2019-2020 academic year and aimed exclusively at members. This programme will continue for the next few years and will study in depth several subjects related to leadership.
• Networking meet-ups: Taking place at least twice a year, these sessions offer an informal and very pleasant framework to get to know each other, share experiences and exchange contacts for new synergies. With all this in mind, a members’ dinner is arranged on the occasion of the general assembly, as well as the Christmas Cup. After-work social events and small-group networking sessions are also organised. The work commission meetings, in which the most active members participate, also constitute an excellent framework for networking for personal growth and widening the list of contacts.
• Training sessions for external entities: 50a50 also organises, designs and carries out training programmes for other entities, including councils, companies and organisations. These training sessions are made to measure, as requested by each entity, and constitute an additional source of income for the association. The themes of these sessions can vary, but are normally focused on feminism, female and transformational leadership, the empowerment of businesswomen or entrepreneurs, and policies of gender equality, among others.
• Recommendations: The “We Recommend” section on the 50a50 website can be considered as small training capsules, as we recommend books, films and other materials of feminist content or aligned with 50a50 values. Training and culture, for our members and also for all interested parties.
