"I am in love with words"
On March 8, the Department of Language and Literature of the Alborán School organized a Literary Meeting in order to encourage students to love reading.
On this occasion, the writer Patricia García-Rojo Cantón, recently awarded the Gran Ang ular Prize, visited our center and, highlighting the playful aspect of reading, invited the participants to have fun reading. She acknowledges that reading is "the most fun I have in my life."
Likewise, it offered the participants an opportunity to start writing and use their imagination, to “be the owners of the world, to have power and change reality”.
In this interesting visit, aimed at Secondary Education students, there was a time for questions and answers, time to clarify doubts about their books read in class and book signing. She even took time to visit the center's facilities.
In a warm and relaxed atmosphere, it was an enriching activity, in which our young students were receptive and especially participatory.
We are very grateful to Patricia for her visit, which served to bring Literature closer to young audiences, awakening in them an interest in books, as well as curiosity about language proficiency, our most important tool.
