Do athenaeums make sense in the 21st century? With this title, the youth discussion group Café Continental opened in January 2023 at the Ateneu Barcelonès, recalling the same discussion that had taken place at the beginning of the century, in which the very young Sagarra, Papasseit, Foix, Garcés, and others participated. With the discussion's wording, the participants already responded. They were there and valued meeting physically, feeling close, and debating any topic after the pandemic and the virtual isolation they had experienced. Two years later, this question takes on more meaning than ever in a Catalan and European context where immigration has exceeded all Western expectations. Sociologists say that the failures in migrant integration stem from a lack of connection with the environment. The French case explains this very well: with good public schools, well-equipped neighborhoods, and a strong culture, malaise and ghettos continue to exist.
