HUMANITARIAN TECHNOLOGY AS CATALYST FACTOR FOR A RENEWED ARCHITECTURE IN SPAIN’S FOREIGN POLICY: 2030 HORIZON

Raquel Esther Jorge Ricart

International order and multilateralism open up new pathways to the ongoing adaptation of the Spain’s foreign policy scheme. The 2030 Agenda appears to be a horizon to be fulfilled by traditional and new challenges. Building upon this, humanitarian technology is gaining terrain and relevance at the international forum. Its impact is bare for the entire foreign policy’s approach: from planning and preparedness, to implementation and performance evaluation. However, humanitarian technology has long been overlooked from this perspective.

DIGITAL REVOLUTION, TECHNO-OPTIMISM AND EDUCATION

Ricardo Riaza

In the last thirty years, educational technologies seem to have paved the way for a revolution that never arrives. In this paper, we review the critical approaches of different authors to this idea. Roughly, these authors analyze why the expectations in this field are not being met, and suggest that a techno-optimistic stance underlies such expectations; this view assimilates technology and progress in a straightforward manner, and advocates the use of technology even in the absence of supporting data. This can be seen as a consequence of certain political and economic interests, together with a form of social enthusiasm towards technology which emanates from its success in other fields (health, transports, communications, etc).

BECOMING VIRAL: ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES AND THEIR RESPONSE TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGES

Marta Pérez Ibáñez

Culture in general and, specifically, the activity carried out by museums, art centers and artists, has undergone profound changes over the last decade, in its channels and strategies for social approach. The way in which digital transformation, common to our entire society, has affected this sector has not only enabled to strengthen the social function of museums towards their audiences, making artistic creation more accessible, as well as the connection of independent artists with society, but has proven to be a fundamental element of social cohesion and cultural development during confinement, providing new strategies and channels, and more sensitive and committed, sustainable, creative content, in times when physical presence, which is essential for cultural enjoyment, has been limited.

Salud digital: una oportunidad y un imperativo ético

Joan Bigorra Llosas y Laura Sampietro-Colom

Having a satisfactory health status is an absolute must to enjoy a rewarding life; therefore achieving an universal health care coverage is an essential requisite to reach not only the SDG 3 related to Health and Wellness for all by 2030, but to achieve the 17 SGDs, since it is a reality that without health there is neither human nor economic development. In developed countries, Health Care Systems are under huge stress due to the demographic changes, with the increase in life expectancy, and the lack of equity which is becoming an everincreasing problem. In the developing countries, the situation is rather challenging due to the chronic shortness of human and material resources and the lack of infrastructures.
