On Friday, November 6, the first issue of ThinkTech+, a new monthly digital bulletin to foster thoughtful, in-depth conversation about technology, is published. It is promoted by the project 'Youth in transition' of the Institute for Culture and Society of the University of Navarra through its ThinkTech Seminars, in which students from different Schools participate. Anyone wishing to receive it can subscribe at this link.

 "In these seminars we read, discuss, think and talk about technology and its implications in our lives. There is an immense amount of information on these topics, so it is difficult to keep up with everything," says Javier García Manglano, researcher principal of project. "The goal of ThinkTech+ is to share a selection of the best we have read, seen and discussed each month. We don't just want to inform, but to think and make you think," he explains. 

As he explains, the bulletin includes a selection of relevant news from the world of technology, as well as a summary of seminars and reflections. They also recommend content such as series, books, articles and documentaries. "In addition, each bulletin closes with something new to learn about technology (a fact, a quotation, a curiosity...)," he points out. 

The students participating in the seminars will be in charge of editing and preparing the newsletter. "In our chat, we constantly share content, recommendations, articles, videos, etc. with each other. Each month we will select the most relevant ones," says Cecilia Serrano, a doctoral student collaborating with 'Youth in transition'. In addition, they will add articles and publications by the students themselves, which can also be found at medium.com/thinktech. 

"ThinkTech+ is an extension of our seminars," says Cecilia. "It serves us to disseminate what we do and learn, so that our offline conversation becomes an online conversation, thus reaching more people. We want to encourage reflection and enrich the dialogue in our digital environment."
