Respira ciencia is a collection of illustrated stories whose goal is to bring science to children. This is a project run by Ciencia Magnetica, two of whose members are Mónica Diago and Pedro Caballero, which seeks to awaken scientific curiosity among the young. Because often, children are only a story away from discovering the world of science. This session will be on the book El tití y el mojojoy.

Brigitte Baptiste invites us to think in an alternative way: from the viewpoint of queer ecology. From watching what we consume, how we inhabit the planet, and the demographic future that awaits; as well as thinking about the digital revolution and an energy transition that is becoming more and more urgent, we will be prepared for a new cycle of transformations on Earth. The Colombian biologist and ecologist brings together seven essays that act as a guide, offering readers tools to work on these changes, in Transecología. Una guía patafísica para habitar las transformaciones del mundo. In conversation with Mar Ortega.
All events on Sunday, February 1st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
