Right in the middle of an economic and youth-identity crisis, a group of young entrepreneurs are proving that optimism, professionalism and ingenuity aren’t tied to Spain’s current economic predicament. When faced with difficult times, the biggest events can be turned into business opportunities depending on the user’s savvy. This is just the case for the team over at Sportise.net, a site created for the entertainment of friends and families who participate in sport-related sweepstakes.

This is the third time that the University of Seville has implemented the Human Factor Analysis academic forum. Year after year, it brings together some of the most influential intellectuals of our time. In four days, around 800 university students arrive at the auditorium in the city's Engineering School to get closer to a complex, multi-faceted reality. In this one space, they are given the opportunity to both approach and distance themselves from the current Spanish university panorama.

How many fountains do you know in Vilnius? Does the city need fountains? What can you do near fountains and do citizens use fountains? - citizens of Vilnius were asked these questions on one not really rainy afternoon. Other, very similar ones, were asked in Seville. It is obvious, that fountains are not closely involved in life of citizens: they are not noticeable, not memorable and remain as a far dream...
AGNÉ
I think, that there is one - near the parliament.
There are seven fountains in Vilnius.
There are seven fountains in the city.

being something distant and unrelated to their lives. Others, however, approached the task with curiosity and were interested in our cause.
Two-hundred flyers announcing the afternoon debate on "How much more can the EU expand?" were handed out to those who approached us. The mayor of Seville himself, Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín, was given a flyer by our coordinator, Concha Hierro, who told him about our Babelian initiative. After two hours in Plaza Nueva, we moved on to San Fernando Street outside the Rector's Office - the hub of the city's university. There we came across a small orchestra playing the European Anthem, as well as an information desk offering a variety of material about the formation of the EU and its issues. We took part in hoisting the European flag and continued to spread the word about Cafébabel. The arrival of lunchtime marked the end of a fruitful morning in which we played our part in taking Europe to the streets. Many definitions and words were written about Europe, but none of them were quite illustrative as those left by a German-Spanish couple: "We love each other."Maybe that's what Europe is about.Friday, May 9 2008 By Sevilla Babel | Sevilnius

There were a lot of opinions and the positions were very different. Some came in with a mind and got out with another, others kept their opinions (which got even stronger), and others started to think harder about the issue. A lot of issues were proposed, a lot of arguments were launched and a lot of opinions were confronted.
Another argument presented by those who are against this practice, is the fact that often the cameras are there, but there isn’t anybody behind them really watching what happens in the street. Besides that, the reluctance has to do with who is watching. Who will guarantee that this person is reliable and that the images won’t be used for a different purpose? Defenders of this cause say that to spend money on something without a guarantee isn’t worth it: they prefer to invest in education.

What can be done with 2,57 reais in Brazil? Or, better yet, with 1 euro? Well, to begin with, the canteen at the public university in my area (Santa Catarina) costs 1,50 reais ( 0,58 euros). You have still got 1,07 reais left( or 0,42 euros) with which you can have an ice-cream cone for dessert, or have 20 pages photocopied at the university photocopier’s. Looks like a dream, doesn’t it? And if you can spend a little more, there is the possibility to eat at the seaside, at one of the best restaurants on the most famous and hectic beaches in Southern Brazil ( Balneario Camborjú) for 30 reais (at the most!) or, approximately 11,70 euros.Monday, April 14 2008 By Sevilla Babel | Events | one comment

The Centre for Andalusian Studies, in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes and the Fundación socialista Pablo Iglesias, chaired by Alfonso Guerra, brings to Sevilla the exhibition “Correspondents in the Spain War”, inaugurated in New York in 2006. A collection of articles and interviews which show how these intellectuals, mostly staying at Florida Hotel, lived and wrote. A job on the edge of events, which would mark the history of journalism.
Exiled in Paris after the arrival to power of Natzis, due to her Jewish origin and her socialist militancy, Taro would learn the tricks of the trade of photography through Hungarian Andre Friedman, also of Jewish origin, who later would be her partner. Together with him she would create the fictitious character of Robert Capa, a so-called famous photographer from the USA. Through that strategy they intended to get more jobs, and it really worked. Soon after that, a conflict would break out which would mobilize the whole Europe: the Spanish Civil War. The couple didn’t hesitate and moved to Spain, where they worked for French magazines like Vu or Regards.Tuesday, March 11 2008 By Sevilla Babel | Society: University | 8 comments

Federico García Moliner was awarded the prize “Príncipe de Asturias” for Technical and Scientific Investigation, due to his excellent work in the field of Physics. He is one of the great Spanish scientists of our time; however, when listening to him, nothing would make you think he’s such an illustrious personality.« previous entries - page 1 of 3
