The quarterly program of scientific thought and culture Cartagena Piensa, in its 19th edition, kicked off yesterday with an exhibition in the Carlos Gallego del Luzzy Room, entitled “Science, Exile and Democracy”. The programming for this quarter revolves around proposals from, among others, AEFEREN, responsible for the conferences ‘An education for the 21st century. Perspectives from the Sciences and the Arts’, reaching its IX edition. There will also be a conference ‘Here we just want to be human’, organized by the Círculo de Silencio de Cartagena and various NGOs and associations, focusing on the phenomenon of migration.
The program includes events related to democratic memory, created through collaboration with the Cartagena Historical Memory Association, which is responsible for two conferences. The first devoted to science under Francoism, by Antonio Francisco Canales, a professor at Complutense University. And the second, dedicated to the legacy of Ramón y Cajal and neuroscience in democracy, by the researcher and professor at Miguel Hernández Salvador Martínez University.
Energy transition, journalistic ethics, feminism, art or history are areas that are covered in the programming. This Thursday there will be an online talk by engineer and researcher Alicia Valero, who will talk about the energy transition. He will be followed by guests such as Danish teacher, engineer and expert Ole Thorson, who will give a lecture at the Museum of the Roman Theater on February 10 on ‘The most democratic and healthy use of the street space’.

New are the ‘Philosophical Coffees of Ambigú’, which will be held in the ambigú of the Nuevo Teatro Circo by the Sociedad de Filosofía de la Región de Murcia. They propose two open debates around questions such as ‘Are my decisions free?’, on February 20, or ‘Do we really want to be immortal?’, on March 27.

Together with Rascasa and the Popular University, with the aim of reaching the neighborhoods and municipalities, several tours will be given around the cultural heritage of Los Mateos.
“Cartagena Piensa is much more than a series of conferences and book launches, it is a polyhedral project that seeks to test all cultural forms to promote knowledge, debate and reflection,” said council members Carlos Piñana and David Noguera.
