There will be a total of 44 proposals between workshops, xharlas and book presentations |

The climate crisis, the quality of democracy, the feminist debate, disability or digital manipulation will be the main topics on which the programming of the last quarter of 2019 in the Cartagena Piensa program will turn.

Personalities such as Marta Peirano, Almudena Hernando, Manuel Villoria or Jorge Riechmann will be in charge of reflecting and generating debate during these months.

The activities will be carried out at the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center, the Youth Resources Center and the El Soldadito de Plomo Cafeteria.

Cartagena Piensa will also be developed in neighborhoods and districts such as Los Mateos, San Antón, El Beal and for the first time in Santa Lucía.

The Councilor for Culture, Carlos Piñana, has presented the program accompanied by members of neighborhood and social associations that collaborate in the project.

For the mayor, Cartagena Piensa "is a commitment to the intelligent society and the democracy of knowledge, which are in the idea of ​​a new citizenship, of a new relationship between the institutions and the most cooperative and horizontal society, the only effective way to do facing the formidable challenges of our time �.

The program prepared by the Department of Culture will offer during the next months a total of 44 proposals distributed among workshops, talks and presentations of books on the environment, feminism or technological innovation.

According to Aurelio Valverde, member of the promoter group of this program, we are facing a change of era.

“We are intellectually defenseless before the different influences that come to us.

So, if we are prepared in our environment, we can mitigate the impact to some extent.

But if we are not, this is going to be a disaster. �Valverde said that Cartagena Piensa“ offers the tools to properly interpret the different aspects of this change of era �

This member of the project promoter group ensures that there will be social, industrial, urban and labor changes in our daily lives.

These changes will be motivated in part by the emergence of new technologies.

To understand them better, the Polytechnic University of Cartagena has organized a series of workshops in municipal libraries.

They will deal with the Internet of things, sustainable urban mobility, drones or the characteristics of light and fiber optics.

According to the Vice Chancellor for Research at the UPCT, Beatriz Hernández “right now engineering is very fast and the legislation is behind.

Right now you can have a man who controls his traffic lights in a ring road with his cell phone, and thereby cause an accident.

That is not legislated and in the end there is an ethical problem. �

Cartagena Piensa is organized by the Department of Culture, Equality and Social Welfare of the City of Cartagena.

In addition, it has the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, of the University of Murcia, the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Cartagena and Region and different social groups.

The program has been developed in accordance with the principle of gender equality, and is aimed at all ages.
