The creator of the popular character Manolito Gafotas shared with all the attendees how her vocation came to her and the idea of ​​devoting herself professionally to writing arose, at the same time that she gave us her ideas for improvement so that young people love books, "it is necessary a true approach to language in schools”.

Mrs. Elvira Lindo pointed out that by promoting education we bring young people closer to reading, since it is reading that provides ease of concentration, which is losing our days. “We must continue to believe in the power of books,” she said.

It is really a necessity to discover and promote the talent of young people. For this, the teachers received tools and resources to work in the classroom. Likewise, it turned out to be a space to share concerns and teaching experiences, explore the creativity of teachers and students.

Likewise, recommendations for activities to work on reading in the classroom were addressed, as well as debates that were enriching for everyone.
