The current president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Oswaldo Betancort, and the last three people to have held that presidency, Dolores Corujo (PSOE), Pedro San Ginés (CC), and Manuela Armas (PSOE) will participate in a meeting about the future of water organized by the Lanzarote Film Festival.

The meeting will be on Sunday, November 16. Each year the Film Festival is centered on a topic, and this year it is water.

“This historic meeting is presented as an original space for the exposition of different points of view and for the construction of a more sustainable and effective future,” the Festival states in its program.

“It is an event in which culture goes hand in hand with reflection on the real problems of citizens, just as the best works of art in history have always done,” they add.

The event will last approximately two hours, and after a brief initial presentation, six main questions will be posed, known in advance by those participating.

Each person will have three minutes to respond, and the turns will be established randomly in the first intervention and will be maintained throughout the event in the same order, rotating clockwise.

 

Questions from the public will be collected
 

At the end of the event, questions from the public, sent via WhatsApp, with a maximum of 200 characters each, will be collected.

All questions received will be fed into an artificial intelligence tool, which will synthesize two questions that capture the most recurrent and representative themes. The event will conclude with a final question from the organizers.

The Film Festival points out that "the meeting is not a political debate, but a space for a calm presentation of future proposals within the framework of a cultural event."

"There will be no rebuttals or counterarguments, and all interventions must focus on practical and achievable future ideas, avoiding reproaches or confrontations about the past."
