Next Tuesday, June 2nd at 10 am, the city councillor of Heritage and Cultural Resources for the City Council of Valencia, Glòria Tello, the cultural journalist Salva Torres, and the vice-principal for Culture and Sports of the Universitat de València, Antonio Ariño, will discuss the online seminar 'Cultural policies in the city'. This is the second session of 'WebinarsLANAU: converses ciència, evidencia i raó', a new initiative launched by the Vice-Principal for Culture and Sport and the Fundación General de la Universitat de València, through the Cultural Observatory, with the aim of promoting reflection and debate on culture in the Valencian sphere in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The free session can be followed through this link. In the coming weeks, new WebinarsLANAU sessions will be held where other public representatives and professionals from different cultural sectors will participate, from design or audiovisual to performing arts or music. And all this with the aim of analysing the problems and needs that they have to face, and to search collaboratively for solutions for a field historically crossed by the precariousness of work, which now is also seriously affected by the security measures that the fight against the Covid-19 forces.

This new project, which has the collaboration of Valencia City Council, began last May 18 with the webinar: “La fotografía menteix?” by photojournalists Eva Máñez and Miguel Lorenzo. This session, as well as all those that will be generated, can be consulted at any time from the YouTube channel of the Universitat La Nau Cultural Centre. During this period, and in view of the impossibility of carrying out face-to-face activities in a scenario marked by the uncertainty caused by the crisis of the coronavirus, the Universitat de València's La Nau Cultural Centre is adapting its programming to digital format. All the contents can be consulted through La Nau's YouTube channel and the history of the presential activities carried out until now through the Culture Channel of MediaUni, the audiovisual platform of the Universitat de València.

'Valencia thinks global. Imagine the future'.

WebinarsLaNau is not the only project of reflection and debate that the Vice-Principal for Culture and Sport has launched during this health emergency. In collaboration with other entities and institutions, next June another new initiative will be born: “València thinks global. Imaginem el futur,” a forum to think about and analyse the profound changes the world has been undergoing in recent years and to shed light on a better future at the hands of internationally renowned experts in various fields of knowledge. ‘València thinks global’ will organise debate sessions and conferences, for the time being exclusively in online format, around crucial issues such as social inequalities, the climate emergency, digital societies and their risks, transformations in work and production processes, challenges to democracy or the world after the COVID-19 pandemic, among others.
