Discover Spanish children's literature, one story at a time...
About this Event

The Instituto Cervantes in Manchester continues its programme to promote reading among children. In this special session celebrating World Book Day, we will dedicate our storytelling activity to Federico García Lorca, one of the most beloved, admired, and influential poets in the Spanish-speaking world.

Through this activity, children will discover Lorca’s importance in our culture, his luminous poetry, his joyful personality, his intense life, and his explosive creativity, which embraced not only poetry but also theatre, puppetry, music, and drawing.

Federico García Lorca was an extraordinary artist whose overflowing talent left a lasting mark on Spanish literature and the arts. His poems and plays are full of emotion, rhythm, colour, and music. Through this storytelling session, children will be introduced to his imaginative world, his boundless creativity, and his deep love for popular traditions and flamenco.

To celebrate his work, his memory, and his passion for flamenco, participants will also enjoy a flamenco dance workshop led by dancer and teacher Christine Medows after the storytelling session.
