Comments on the lecture

The round table was centered on the culture as a fundamental tool to promote social change, integration and innovation. My analysis was about the social projects I am implementing in poor communities using the culture to engage and maximize impact: generating lasting incomes, bridging between distant social and economic realities, building solid emotional bonds between people from different realities and organizations, raising awareness and trust.

I have the pleasure of being invited to the most important Culture Forum in Spain, with an amazing agenda and level of participants. It is a pleasure to be exchanging experiences and knowledge with the participants. I also got the satisfaction of being very commented by the media and the audience. It was a great human experience.

The round table participants agreed that the educational system has to be changed. In addition it has to be more agile and flexible in order to face our challenges as a society.
