Dear students,

We’re excited to invite you to a thought-provoking event as part of our series on sustainability and social responsibility!

📽️ Documentary Screening: "Ganado o Desierto"
An exploration of environmental issues and their impact on our world.

Date: Wednesday, 13th November
Time: 4:00 PM
Location: Instituto Cervantes Manchester, Auditorium
Language: In Spanish, with English subtitles
Entry: Free!

This documentary will be a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in current environmental topics while practicing Spanish in a real-world setting. Don’t miss out on this enriching experience!

Feel free to bring a friend, and let’s learn together about the challenges and choices shaping our planet.

Don't miss our upcoming Zoom roundtable, "Social Responsibility and Environmental Narratives: Media, Education, and Rural Sustainability," TODAY, November 5, at 4:30 PM. This event will be conducted in Spanish and will explore the intersection of social responsibility with environmental issues through diverse perspectives. Our guest speakers include:

- Irene Baños, journalist and environmental communicator specializing in climate change and ecological crises.
- Carlos Gámez Pérez, lecturer at the Universitat de Barcelona and ecopedagogy expert whose research focuses on environmental narratives in education.
- María Montesino, sociologist, agroecological producer and researcher, currently pursuing her doctoral thesis at the University of the Basque Country, focusing on new ruralities and communalism.

Each participant will briefly present their work (see the attached for more details), followed by a Q&A session to foster dialogue and reflection.

We hope you can join us for this important conversation on how media, education, and sustainable agriculture play crucial roles in advancing social responsibility and environmental awareness.
