I Ibero-American Week of Schedules and Time
The Ibero-American Week on Schedules and Time will be held on September 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd. This event, co-organized by the Barcelona Time Use Initiative for Healthy Society (BTUI) and DIPLOCAT, is part of the strategy to promote time policies that were approved with the signing of the Barcelona Declaration on Time Policies in 2021.
The event will involve experts, political representatives, and civil society members from Ibero-American countries such as Diego Golombek, Senior Researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina; Ana María Tribin, gender policy specialist from the United Nations Development Programme; Diana Parra, Undersecretary of Care and Equality Policies of the Mayor's Office in Bogotá; and Joaquín Pérez Rey, Secretary of State for Employment and Social Economy of Spain.
The objective is to raise awareness among public institutions, political representatives, social and economic actors, as well as Latin American society in general, about how to guarantee the right to time as a citizen's right, linking it to the commitments established in the Barcelona Declaration. This meeting will serve as a space for exchange and facilitate the adaptation of time policies to the needs and social, geographical, and political contexts of different societies.
The Week also features the participation of various institutions from the Ibero-American context in both public policy and research, such as the United Nations Development Programme's Latin America and Caribbean Office, the University of Sant Andreu, the Women's Secretariat of the Mayor's Office in Bogotá, the Ibero-American Association of Time Banks, the Barcelona City Council (as the World Capital of Time Policies), and the Department of Equality and Feminism of the Government of Catalonia. This amounts to a total of 6 countries from the Latin American context: Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia, Chile, and Ecuador.
