Literary meeting with the writer Don Sergio Barce Gallardo. 2018-19
To commemorate Book Day, the Department of Language and Literature of the Alborán School has organized an interesting literary meeting with the writer Sergio Barce.
The writer from Malaga and Lara shared with all the students of Secondary Education both his literary work and his personal experiences and anecdotes in Moroccan lands, experiences that are reflected to a large extent in his novels: memories of a happy childhood with friends from different cultures.
During his visit, there was also time to talk about the short film "El Nadador" that has already won several awards, directed by Pablo Barce and based on one of the stories from his book "Walking around the Souk Chico", a book read by the students during this course and on which he focused at the request of the attendees. This work is, basically, a tribute to those people and places that were part of his childhood.
Likewise, he briefly explained the plot of "A mermaid drowned in Larache" and "The book of stolen words."
At our school we are aware that reading is an essential factor in the personal and social development of young people, which is why we organize activities to encourage reading that show literary enjoyment through the books read in the classroom. In this literary meeting, Sergio, in a close and relaxed atmosphere, helped to sow the reading habit, encouraging students to value, even in these times of free downloading of books, the work of creation and the work of the author.
