In this week's broadcast, we discuss the changes to the education system that Sonia Díez, president of Fundación EducAcción, and Ndaba Mandela, chair of the Mandela Institute for Humanity, want to see, in order for it to adapt to the challenges of today's world.
We had the opportunity to discuss this with them at a recent event in Madrid. Both Díez and Mandela believe that young people should be listened to, and that the necessary transformation of the education system will be driven by civil society rather than coming from the top down.
We also focus on Pope Leo's ongoing visit to Spain. The Pontiff is currently in Barcelona, where the inauguration of the Tower of Jesus Christ in La Sagrada Família is the highlight of the Year of Antonio Gaudí, which commemorates the architect's death exactly a century ago.
A hundred years later, Gaudí's work continues to make a huge impression. Galdríc Santana, curator of the Gaudí Year and director of the Gaudí Chair, explains the key factors behind his enduring popularity on the English Language Broadcast.
Finally, we turn to football. With the FIFA World Cup about to begin and Spain's women's national team already qualified for next year's tournament, we recount the difficult path that female footballers have had to navigate to be recognised as the sporting stars they are today. The story of the first Spanish women's team and how they dared to defy the Spanish society of the early 1970's is recounted in 'Pioneras: Solo querían jugar', a film being released this week.
