From 22 to 27 February, the Foundation The Century in S. Pedro do Estoril, receives the 2nd Meeting of Children and Youth Lusophone literature. In this issue, there is a greater presence of Brazil and school libraries were asked to tell their stories about reading promotion activities. New bet:. Create creators in Sao Tome, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde

In addition to the visits of writers and illustrators to schools of Lisbon (Cascais, Oeiras, Amadora, Lisbon), in order to put children in direct contact with the authors and to explore its works, the meeting aims to bring the debate themes such as “learn to enjoy reading, which are visual narratives, literature versus creative writing, stories about new families and the book and the author’s situation in the Lusophone space, “says José Fanha, primarily responsible for the organization of the meeting.

also literature author for children to say” a fierce advocate that what matters is the literature “and challenges:” There is creative cuisine. It is people who are creative, are not things. “Remember that the concept of” creative writing “has much to do with” the American market, a market where many earn their living doing formatted stories for newspapers and magazines. ”

Disagree who cares this format: “this creative writing teaches a model. How many pages must have a book? After many pages ‘kill’ the character? “He explains. For José Fanha, “this model leads to a mistake, there are people who make a creative writing course and ready, already, think they are writers.” Also admits that it may be “the call ‘creative writing’ to other more valid things just because the concept is fashionable.”

To discuss this issue, it considers “hard core”, invited the writers Mario de Carvalho, Margarida Fonseca Santos, Afonso Cruz and Cristina Carvalho, a table will be moderated by Leonor Strike, a professor at the School of Education of Coimbra (February 25, 18h).

Create creators
at the same time, the meeting promotes the achievement of short courses of children’s literature and illustration, via the Internet, “to contribute to the development of children’s literature in Portuguese-speaking countries.”

“the reading, learn to like” is a panel that will count with the presence of the psychiatrist Luis Gamito. “As a culture, reading is not an innate thing. Whats the way? How can you learn to like? “Said the organizer of the meeting. He responds with humor: “Not so:. Take there and reading, there is a process, which will be the same or like to learn to like opera or beans”

Gifts this reflection will also Cristina Taquelim and Brazilian Rui Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna and Olinda Beja (Sao Tome), moderated by Sonia Gameiro, which organizes annually in Pombal meeting Ways of Reading.

to talk about and show pictures “what is the ‘workshop’ of illustrator work”, the organization invited Monica Cid, “with its artists’ books and workbooks, which will announce many details,” which will talk to professor of Belas- Lisbon Arts Manuel San Payo. For André da Loba illustrators, Ana Biscay, Rachel Caiano, is destined the theme “The image that illustrates the word and the word that illustrates the image” with the moderation Ana Bela Mendes (February 26, 11 am).

the new family
José Fanha considers it essential to think about how it fits in the literature for children and youth “the new realities and new families.” The writer realizes that “have begun to appear narratives about single-parent families, divorces, parents Gay , lesbian mothers.” But questions how the questions put: “In some cases it seems that if you want to advertise these issues. Something like:. ‘Look how beautiful it is …’ “

So you want to bring matters to the discussion and see how they are placed in different speaking countries. “I do not see anyone in Cape Verde to write about single parents. Are other families, other contexts, other universes, “he says. “How do you look at these issues in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, São Tomé. That weight is that they must have in children’s literature?”
