Public debate on access to housing, Biblioteca Pública, Salamanca

Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca

On Thursday 19 November 2026 at 19:00 the Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca hosts a public debate in its assembly hall, the Salón de actos, at C/ Compañía 2 in Salamanca. The event belongs to the series Dejarse hablar: Debates públicos en la Conchas, whose listing opens with the idea that people are never so intelligent, honest and witty as when they start to speak, fall silent, sigh or laugh in the middle of a public meeting. The topic for this session is access to housing: difficulties and possible solutions. The earlier debate in the series, on 5 November, deals with the journey of the ballot from the ballot box to the seat in parliament. The listing marks the event as a forum or meeting for adults and organised by the Junta de Castilla y León. Entry is free until the hall is full, and no booking is mentioned. A public discussion like this is easy to attend alone, since everyone comes to listen and talk about the same subject. «Acceso a la vivienda: dificultades y posibles soluciones Salón de actos Entrada libre hasta completar aforo.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30. Source: Castilla y León culture agenda (Junta de Castilla y León). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated. The listing gives free entry until the hall is full and marks the audience as adults.

Social ecology and health talk, Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca

Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca

On Monday 30 November 2026 at 19:00 the Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca hosts a talk in its Jornadas de ecología social focused on health, held in the assembly hall. The listing says the series runs on 16, 23 and 30 November. The session on this date is Salud y calidad del aire en los entornos escolares, Health and air quality in school environments, given by Teresa Vicente Ramos, a secondary school teacher and member of Ecologistas en Acción de Salamanca. The earlier sessions cover ecofeminist ethics of care with Alicia H. Puleo García and water and health with Koldo Hernández Lozano. Entry is free until the hall is full, and the listing gives no booking arrangement. It also gives no end time, so the finish of 20:30 is an estimate. A library talk like this is easy to follow alone, since you simply take a seat and listen to the speaker. «19:00 horas. Salón de actos. Entrada libre hasta completar el aforo.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30. Source: Castilla y León culture agenda (Junta de Castilla y León). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated. The listing gives the talk at 19:00 in the assembly hall with free entry until capacity is reached.
