Conference Structure
August 1st
The first day may be the most traditional day of the conference, highlighted by the presentation of the speakers. We begin with an introduction to the topics, followed by interventions from the specialists selected for the event. Each one of them brings a new perspective on the conference themes, as well as a repertoire of knowledge and personal teachings. Between the various presentations, there will be breaks where you will have the opportunity to converse and exchange ideas, both with the speakers and with other participants. It is an extensive day that truly sets the atmosphere for the whole event, laying the foundations for dialogue and reflection.
