Upcoming Live Sessions in 2026:
The ‘Argumenta’ cycle will resume its conversations on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the CC Torre Llobeta, to discuss the future of communication. In a context where communication and leisure are fundamental for human development, the debate will revolve around how bonds are built, the role of play, and to what extent digital connection can be differentiated from real enjoyment and relationships in a world full of screens.
