The Universitat de València's Escola Europea de Pensament Lluís Vives has resumed its online activities. To inaugurate it, on Monday 25th May, the magistrate and jurist Joaquim Bosch gave a lecture entitled 'False news and toxic lies: the limits of freedom of expression and the right to information'. The next conferences will be on June 8th with Francisco Sanz, doctor of pneumology and COVID coordinator of the Consortium Hospital General València, who will talk about the protocols of attention and treatment of the COVID-19; and on June 15th with the researcher Enrique Feás, who will deal with the economic crisis generated.

The School is a cultural project, promoted by the Vice-Principal Office for Culture and Sport and managed by the General Foundation of the Universitat de València, which is configured as a space for reflection and participative and critical debate on current affairs. The School is supported by other actors from the public administration and civil society: the Presidency of the Generalitat, Valencia City Council, the Department of Transparency and Education, Research, Culture and Sport, the Valencian Language Academy, the Alfons el Magnànim Institute and Caixa Popular.

The free art workshops 'Arte y Ment', aimed at the youngest audience: children aged 13, are given by artists and art therapists, between 26 May and 9 June. They are held every Tuesday, always at 6 pm.

In the first session, Alejandra Vicuña presents the collage techniques and has carried out practical exercises to motivate the curiosity and imagination of the youngest.
