Celebreation of the International Day of the Educating City

On November 30th, the International Day of the Educating City is celebrated, and this year Barcelona places the voice of children at the center. Under the motto Children’s Participation in the Educating City, AICE, the Barcelona City Council, and the Steering Group of the Children’s Council of Barcelona organize this open event to collectively reflect on children’s right to actively participate in public life.

Program:

What do quantum physics and artificial intelligence have to do with each other? How do they intersect, and what does this encounter mean for the future of technology and society? As part of the City and Science Biennial 2025, dedicated to quantum revolutions, we open a three-way conversation between science, art, and social critique to explore the connections and tensions between these two worlds.

In the quantum world, all possible realities happen at once — but only one becomes real when someone observes it. Science Fiction plays with this idea: a journey through science and technology news seen through the eyes of someone who isn’t a scientist but can’t help wondering what the heck is going on. With humor, wit, and striking stage design, Cris Blanco invites us on a journey where knowledge blends with fiction and science becomes theatrical material.

Technology is advancing at full speed, but… is everyone on board? In this conversation, we’ll focus on how to ensure no one is left behind in the digital world — especially older adults. Because browsing the internet, handling digital services, staying connected, or continuing to learn shouldn't be limited by age.

This 6-hour course (2 sessions of 3 hours, on October 16 and 23) is designed for education professionals who want to deepen their understanding of digital well-being. You will learn how to promote an active, creative, and critical use of technology, identify risks, and explore strategies to prevent them. You’ll also share experiences with other professionals and gain confidence to work with ICT in a responsible and fearless way. 

The training combines theory and practice through participatory dynamics.

How are video games connected to digital rights? This new edition opens up a space to explore how video games can become tools for critique, reflection, and social action. The program combines digital publications by creators and researchers with live conversations, aiming to foster collective learning and shared cultural production around technology, politics, and play.
