Afterwards, the Leaders were able to take a walk through the streets of the 22@ District accompanied by Verónica Tan and Bárbara Pons, who guided them throughout the tour, while explaining the major transformations experienced by the district. During the tour they were able to visit, for instance, the Poblenou campus of the Pompeu Fabra University, the MediaTIC Building or the Poblenou Superblock. Getting to know Barcelona Activa and the 22@ District was very useful for the Leaders, and they established contact with the people in charge of the visit to initiate a stage of collaboration between the Indian cities and Barcelona.
