This Tuesday, the “Fundal Niño” Popular Book Fair was officially inaugurated, a proposal aimed especially at children and adolescents, which seeks to promote the bond with reading from an inclusive, free, and participatory perspective.
The fair will take place until next July 4th, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the Provincial Image Museum (Buenos Aires 179), with free admission. During these four days, the public will be able to visit the stands, discover authors, share readings, and enjoy a varied literary offer designed for childhood and youth.
It is an initiative of the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, and carried out by the “Graciela Cutro” Municipal Children's and Youth Library, in coordination with the Fundal Niño Association.
As part of the special activities, on Friday, July 4th, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the workshop “Ways of Reading” will be held, aimed at parents and teachers. The proposal will be led by writers Miriam Persiani and María Fernanda Macimiani, specialists in initial literacy and children's literature, members of the Argentine Academy of Children's and Youth Literature. The workshop will take place at the headquarters of the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture (Urquiza 638). For more information and registration, you can approach the Undersecretariat's offices in person.
During the opening, the Municipal Vice President and President of the Honorable Deliberative Council, Lic. Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, celebrated the holding of the fair and stated: “This proposal not only highlights the work of our libraries and our cultural institutions, but also reaffirms our commitment to the right to read, active participation, and education from early childhood.”
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, highlighted: “Every book we bring to a child is an opportunity for growth, imagination, and freedom. This fair is an invitation to discover, to be moved, and to continue building a Concordia that reads and grows with equality.”
The inaugural ceremony was attended by the Secretary of Human Development, Eng. Sebastián Arístide, the Departmental Director of Schools, Prof. Julio Barrios, the Director of Education, Lic. Nelida Amam, and the Coordinator of the “Graciela Cutro” Municipal Children's and Youth Library, Patricia Jaluf, among other authorities, representatives of educational institutions, teachers, students, and residents.
