Educational Approach to Poetry

On Friday, March 27, the Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center will be the venue for the closing of the seminar 'Passwords with the Future. An Educational Approach to Poetry', which will take place from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Taught by poet Álvaro García, winner of the Hiperión and Loewe awards, this training cycle has provided four sessions of theoretical and practical space to bring poetry closer to the public from a creative and accessible perspective. The initiative has allowed exploring the possibilities of poetic language and promoting the enjoyment of this literary genre, with free admission until full capacity is reached.

That same day, at 7:00 PM, the Hospital Real de la Misericordia will host the presentation of the book 'Enlightening Stories', by Cristina Eguíluz Casanovas. The work gathers a series of independent stories that reflect different realities of contemporary society, showing how appearances can be deceiving and how circumstances affect different characters unequally.
