The 5th Barcelona Conferences on Education (BCE2024) and Arts, Media & Culture (BAMC2024) took place at the Toulouse Business School (TBS) Education Barcelona and the Hotel Barcelona Condal Mar Affiliated by Meliá from November 12-16, 2024. 462 delegates from 68 countries participated in one of IAFOR’s most engaging conferences, with a programme focused on questions such as belonging and othering, creating new and friendlier ways of engaging with each other, the role of the Arts and Humanities within precarious times, and what it means to be human.
The Barcelona Conference emphasised the importance of the Arts and Humanities as a driver for cultivating more understanding between people, fostering imagination and creativity to reimagine new structures and narratives of coexisting, and creating safe spaces for disagreeing well with each other.
