The Student Union of the Catalan Countries (Catalan: Sindicat d'Estudiants dels Països Catalans, SEPC) is a student union based in the Catalan Countries. It was created in May 2006 as a merge of Alternativa Estel [ca] and Coordinadora d'Estudiants dels Països Catalans [ca] in the context of the Bologna Process.[1] It initially had significant presence in the Valencian Country, Catalonia and Northern Catalonia.[2] As a left-wing pro-independence organization, it's part of the Esquerra Independentista [ca] movement, thus usually linked to the Popular Unity Candidacy political party. Its main values are feminism, socialism, independentism,[3] and it strongly advocates for Pan-Catalanism.[4] It also stands against capitalism and LGBT-phobia.[5] In fact, it pursues a new educational model as follows: secular,[5] publicly funded, popular, Catalan-language, antipatriarchal, and good quality education.[6] It organizes annual meetings such as the Trobada d’Estudiants dels Països Catalans (lit. 'Meeting of Students of the Catalan Countries') and the Congress of Catalan Philology Students [ca].[6][7]
