Dialogue cycle: “Philosophy on the street: questions that matter”

Philosophy. Participants will include figures such as philosophers Nemrod Carrasco and Joan Bähr, psychologist Sara Berbel, architects Beth Galí and Àlex Giménez, and gender policy expert Lourdes Muñoz.

The aim of the Philosophy on the street: questions that matter cycle is to create spaces for collective reflection around topics of community interest and foment dialogue and active participation amongst local residents.

They also aim to highlight spaces in the Les Corts district, making them known as contemporary agoras and restoring the tradition of public debate.

The dialogues will address issues such as philosophy, diversity, urban planning from an everyday and neighbourhood perspective, and gender as a civic challenge.
