Conference series “Uses, possibilities and limits of information and communication technologies”

The cycle of conferences “Uses, possibilities and limits of information and communication technologies” offers a broad and critical look at the incorporation of technology in the practice of professionals in education and social action.

It is an opportunity to become aware of the changes, opportunities and limits implied by the incorporation of the digital layer in our lives (leisure, work, studies…) from various approaches that affect it: in the challenges for the construction of identities in the digital society; in the reality of training (teaching-learning) in the 21st century (characterized by constant connection), as well as in the capacity for intervention to contribute to the construction of a new social model, often driven from foreign spaces to the administrations.

The cycle is carried out as part of the subject “Uses, possibilities and limits of information and communication technologies”, of the Degree in Social Education of the Faculty of Education of the University of Barcelona, ​​and is open to all the educational community and the general public.
