Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
There is one who passs almost by the university without realizing, and is one who leaves track. And it is that every time they are plus the young people who dedicate part of their time to collaborate with the student associations that live in the universities. The reasons that move to them are very diverse, some look for a place where to be able to debate and to connect with people of similar ideas, others do not fight by their academic interests, and nonlack either that is dedicated to help to less the most favored.

The associations of students in our country are counted by hundreds. The variety is so much that is very difficult not to find some with which to feel identified. If we grouped the associations by types of studies, these usually are located in Faculties or concrete university Schools, although he is frequent that such exist other many practically dedicated to aims in centers and different universities, or at provincial, autonomic, state and even international level. This type of associations has capacity in any academic discipline, taking care of specific problems related to the studies that attend the associate, in addition to other cultural activities and leisure.

To mention an example, only in the Complutensian University of Madrid they exist around 90 associations, between which they emphasize names like: The Gentleman of the Dadillos, an association of the Faculty of Political Sciences that makes functions of information to the student and organization of cultural acts in the Campus of Somosaguas; Balaena association, formed by students of Veterinary medicine, Biology and other disciplines for the study, investigation and conservation of the marine mammals and their habitat; or the Association of Students of ATHENIAN Anthropology, created in order to offer information to the student and to organize political and cultural acts.

On the other hand, the Independent University of Madrid counted in March of 2007 with 41 associations of active students, tie to the faculties and other interfacultative ones. In order to facilitate the creation of new associations, the Madrilenian University makes available of its students different models from statutes, act of constitution, list of board of directors, request of subvention, etc.

The associations play a very important role in so important subjects for the university system like the reform of the Statutory law of Universities or the implantation of the new catalogue of titles of degree on the basis of the directives of the European Space of Superior Education. Subjects like these, that they affect directly to the studies and the future labor of the college students, are if these manifest organizations assume a very active work promoting and multitudinal concentrations in defense of their interests.

In this sense, hardly two weeks ago, the Council of Education and Science of the Meeting of Castile-The Spot invited the representatives of the pupils of the region to participate in the reflection and the debate on the future Law of Education of Castile-The Spot. The representatives of the Federation of Associations of Students of Castile-The Spot (FADAECAM) and the Progressive Union of Estudiantes (UPE) took advantage of the meeting to give to the holder of Education and Science, Jose Valverde, individual documents gathering the necessities and projects for the present course, as well as a copy of the project presented/displayed to the call of aids by means of agreements with the Confederations of Mothers and Parents of Students and with the Associations of Pupils, for the next course.

Before certain situations organizations arise who represent certain groups of students with common problems, some from reivindicativo character, distributed throughout all Spain, grouping themselves sometimes to state level to have more force in their demands. It is the case of the Federation of Precarious Investigating Young people, that in June of 2006 saw fulfilled one of its main objectives when the Council of Government of the Community of Madrid made the first contract call of investigating personnel of support, by which was recognized like labor personnel the investigators who initiate their investigating race. Even so, the Association continues trying that this measurement does not remain in an isolated autonomic initiative, and it is applied in all the national scope.

Aside from its reivindicativa work, the Federation of Precarious Investigating Young people account with Plank of Announcements in where supplies of work of interest for predoctoral, investigating scholarship holders are inserted without regulated remuneration, technicians of laboratory or professors associate. In their page also lists of mail of the different regional associations can be found, information relative to the situation of these professionals in other European countries, as well as all the information on the rights that protect to the members of the different associations and the reivindicativa strategy.

The fight of Students in Movement, an organization who reunites to diverse student groups that work by the public university, is centered in the increase of the university rates that repeats every year. This association denunciation that? this new increase does not do more than to reinforce the tie economic that supposes the rates, doing of the Public University an elitist and more and more excluding institution. In order to protest against this situation, fourteen university associations grouped in the platform Students in Movement have decided to make caceroladas in cities like Leon, Salamanca or Valladolid.

Political and Social associations

Have capacity in this section from the organizations with political vindications more radicals, to associations of cooperation and voluntary military service or nuns. Between first it exists to a great extent one varied range of associations, installed of the Spanish university campuses, and frequently grouped in an organization of national nature. It emphasizes in this sense, although dozens of examples, the Union of Students could be put, that works as much at state level with associate originating of the secondary education as of the college student.

Its work is not limited the vindications exclusively related to the problems of the pupils (LOU, LOCE, LOE, among others), but that it includes political and social questions. They are autodefinen like? an organization of class and lefts? and its more active battle area is the street from the pacific protest.

Very sonata also is FAEST, the Federation of Associations of Students of Centers and Universities (not to confuse with the other FAEST, whose abbreviations mean Federation of Spanish Associations of Star Trek). It has presence in practically all the Independent Communities and counts on the greater student representation in the set of Spanish universities, as well as in more than 500 centers of THAT and Baccalaureate. One is an organization that very follows close by any change or modification of the academic norm, so and as it did with the process of LOU in May of the last year when they sent to the Ministry a series of concrete proposals demanding certain changes applicable to the legislative text. Or also showing its support to the Law of Access to the Law arguing that? a modernization of the studies of Right takes place.

Like organization that groups to several associations of students of more preservative ideas in educative matter we can mention the Democratic Union of Estudiantes (UDE), CODE successor, that is the confederation with greater number of associations of students of Spain. The UDE is outstanding lately by their opposition to the propose educative measures by the socialist government.

On the other hand, the Association of Scientific and Technical Women of the University of Zaragoza and with the support of the Aragonese Institute of the Woman, has been several years fighting to reduce to the barriers by the incorporation from the woman to the technical studies and its later professional development. One treats, then, to break that crystal ceiling that prevents the women to ascend in its race and to foment the open debate since? it is not a specific problem of the women, but that concerns to the set of the society. It is the society the one that must be concienciar of the problem and become jumbled actively in its solution? , they assure from the association.

The work of the Association of Moroccan Students happens to organize conferences, to participate in conferences and/or colloquies, to celebrate sport trophies or to collaborate in cultural and/or social activities. Although also one of its main objectives is velar by the well-being of the Moroccan students and to defend its rights in all the scopes.

But without a doubt one of the tendencies that characterize the young people is its eagerness to become jumbled in shared in common projects. And it is that performance fields do not need to these young people loaded of ideals, from the people who suffer, those that need humanitarian aid or those that require support to study and to form. Its work contributes to make of ours a world better.

Indeed, to promote the shared in common spirit between the college students is the objective of Foundation IUVE, one of the most active and interesting organizations of our national panorama. With seat in Madrid, IUVE every year confronts multitude of actions, some even with enormous social repercussion. So it is the case of its denominated program? Kilo of Aid? directed to all the Spaniards with the purpose of less supporting the favored groups of our society in as necessary aspects as the feeding, the purchase of books and access to medicines.

But there are more associations it jeopardize with the great problems of the Humanity, whose members take advantage of the knowledge acquired in the university classrooms to help in which they can there where they need them. Engineering without Borders of Murcia is only one shows of them. It belongs to the Polytechnical University of Cartagena and is formed by a group of students of Engineering and other races that create in the possibility of a righter world, and for it they collaborate taking advantage of the scientific and technical knowledge that they have. This association belongs to the Spanish Federation of Engineering Without Borders that, like it happens in other many academic disciplines, its work through all the universities distributes where these knowledge are distributed.

As far as the associations of religious character, in its majority they are of catholic connection and also they are distributed throughout all Spain. An example is the Secretaryship Diocesano de University Pastoral, that from the University of Alicante and with a Christian perspective it tries to be a reference of the Catholic Church in the University. Throughout the year they make activities like the daily Eucaristía, weekly meals or meetings to practice the oration.

Of cultural nature

In this section the playful associations can be included, specialized in cinema, theater, university classic music or tunas. Between first, there are them of diverse occupations, like the dedicated ones to the games of roll, videojuegos, dinner services and other activities related to the leisure and the entertainment. The Club of Roll of the Independent University of Barcelona (CRUAB) is an example of the playful associations, that it has like primary target to reunite to all the players of roll of this university to organize games and another series of related activities.

On the other hand, the Club of Cinema and Photography Antenna, the Polytechnical University of Madrid, is one of the associations dedicated to the cinematographic cult of many where the university fans group themselves. Their activities are mainly centered in the organization of cycles and projections, running of cortometrajes, courses of cinema and other actions related to the promotion and diffusion of the seventh art.

Equal it happens with the musical associations or theater, that are in charge to start up activities related to these artistic restlessness, generally through the organization of orfeones, groups of Jazz, orchestras, choirs and theater groups, that throughout the course offer a series of representations stops to the rest of the university community. The University Orfeón of Castellón of the University Jaime I, or the Caleac group Theater of the University of Santiago de Compostela, is only representative examples of this type of associations.

International associations

On the other hand, the associations also can include student groups of diverse countries, or are with general or sectorial character. As far as first, one is organizations where they have capacity European Spanish students in relation to other or Latin Americans, mainly. In them political, social or organizational subjects struggle at international level; cooperation projects start up and cultural programs of interchange or are in charge to spread calls of academic interest for the members of the same ones, among other activities.

Of the calls Pro-European Associations, it emphasizes Association DES Etats Géneraux DES Etudiants of L? Europe (AEGEE), that counts on more than 15,000 members and seats distributed by all Europe and in many Spanish cities; the European Union of Students ESU groups student unions of 36 European countries and represents about 10 million students of all Europe; and the Network of Students Erasmus (ESN, Erasmus Students Network) who reunites to old and present students Erasmus of all the participant countries.

With respect to the sectorial international associations, they are more specific organizations where the professional problems, possibilities and opportunities of study in certain branches and different countries treat. Thus, as a example, the students of Economic and Enterprise Sciences group themselves around AIESEC, an implanted international association in numerous Spanish universities that, besides to supply more than 5,000 positions of leadership or to distribute numerous conferences, also a program of interchanges that offers more than 3,500 students and just graduated the opportunity handles to live and to work in another country.
