The first activity, to take place on 9 May from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at the Sala Polivalent of the Àgora Building, will focus on different questions related to psychotropic medicine, including what it means to take these kinds of drugs, what are their side effects, why we hide the need to take the, and even whether men and women achieve the same results when prescribed these types of drugs. The workshop will be conducted by Iris Kucinic, medical student and organiser of the FAS Health programme, alongside Anna Blasco, sexologist and technician of the programme.

Two day later, on 11 May, another talk will be offered to debate about Tinder. The programme's volunteer health agents will reflect upon whther this application is a safe space for people? What sort of experiences do users have? Is there sexual violence in these contexts? What are the ideologies that make these apps so popular?
