1×04 | In the game for equality we all play

Equality

Today at Generación EdTech we moved to the Ciudad Deportiva de Maracena (Granada) to chat with the players and coach of the Maracena Women’s Indoor Soccer team: Marta Aguilera, Aida Cano and Iván Márquez.

They are the best to raise the strategy of equality and diversity on the field, so in this conversation we will review the achievements so far, made very visible thanks to the Women’s National Football Team, but also all the challenges and opportunities that remain to achieve real equality not only in futsal, but in any other sport.

So today, on the EDUCA EDTECH Foundation podcast, we score a goal on inequality.

“Hey, the space we have is cool, it’s comfortable, it’s friendly, you’re going to meet other people, you’re going to be able to have breakfast there. You have all the resources you need for whatever you need, a comfortable space for you to be the one who decides to come to the office.”
And in some ways, on Mondays it’s more complicated, but as the week goes on, it’s true that it’s happening.
We are starting to see people asking for the civics that are asking: “Hey, let’s find a space where we want to be and be able to socialize”.
And it’s funny, huh?
You were anticipating this trend of wanting to see each other again.
I think it’s unlearning what we learned during the pandemic.
We are noticing that we have people all over Spain, like them, and we only have the office in Granada, but people want to get together again.

So, for example, in leadership training we have made an experiment, a fun budget so that when they are here for trainings or for the typical summer party, winter party, they use that budget to do other things together, like they go bowling, or the other day they went to the axe thing.
I said, that axe thing is a little dangerous.
And what’s the axe thing?
There’s a bar, a pub, where you can throw axes, basically.
Don’t tell that to the risk prevention guy, we didn’t say that; that’s outside of work directly.
But in the end, like if you talk to each other on Teams or Google, it’s one thing; but the desire or the need for another department is different.
But as soon as you have a drink or do an event, you humanize the person.
