Talks for secondary students
This programme of talks aims to prepare secondary school students aged between fifteen and seventeen to take part in debates about today’s world.
Since 2010, the CCCB has offered a programme of talks specifically designed for secondary school students in order to acquaint them with the great present-day debates and give them the opportunity to discuss these issues with leading figures of contemporary culture. From the challenges and problems of today’s world, through to the key questions of philosophy, these sessions seek to stimulate discussion and exchanges of ideas among young people, thus enlarging their frames of reference and encouraging critical thought. By including this cycle of talks in its educational programme the CCCB has created a space where young people can come together with eminent cultural personalities in the conviction that learning occurs both inside and outside the classroom.
