The Guantanamo Graphomania Literary Project invites the Cuban family to enjoy a new proposal for the reading promotion and the enjoyment and learning of children this 2023 Summertime: La hora del cuento (Story time), a space that through Telegram gives away audio stories, songs and animations based on texts by national and local authors.
The initiative, supported by the section of oral narrators of the National Committee of the Cuban Writers and Artists Association and the Book Provincial Center, premiered last Children’s Day, with the launch of the story El vendedor de risas (The laugh seller), by writer Eldys Baratute Benavides, with selection and narration by Rosa Irene Pino.
The stories selected freely by the narrators invite the full enjoyment of literature written for children and the constant search for initiatives that motivate them and contribute to their training.
In addition, they will be at the service of everyone, in case radio stations, TV channels or other interested institution wish to use them as promotional media.
With Story Time, the Grafomanía project continues to strengthen its work in favor of literature promotion, through new communication media, such as social networks, which are supported by advertising campaigns, messages and posts that are widely accepted by the public that follows them and new followers who join each initiative.
The space offers a participatory look at the reading process, by providing the opportunity to send photographs and drawings that show children reading, or reflect the impact of books on their imagination.
This initiative complements and continues a section that emerged in 2020, under the name of Hora de leer (Reading Time), to propose titles and websites from which you can download collections of poems, selections of stories, novels, essays and other writings to enjoy with the family.
Hora de leer was born under the circumstances imposed by the epidemiological situation of COVID-19, which pulsated the creativity of these artists, who together with the Solvisión television station put together the project to promote reading.
