Share your power | 2019

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT POWER?

Power has been traditionally considered a masculine and elitist force, too many times associated with shadiness and corruption.

HOW TO TRANSFORM POWER?

By shaping it ourselves and not the other way around! But for that to happen, we first need to acknowledge that we all have power, and that by sharing it with the world, we can resignify it

HOW DO WE INTERPRET POWER?

We, at TEDxBarcelonaWomen, believe that power can and should be totally different. Something diverse, inclusive, collaborative, transformative and of course… feminine too.
