“Invisible Library: Reading Mediation Workshop” – training with Bru Junça

Thursday, May 28, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Target audience:

Professionals working with children or the elderly, curious individuals, and anyone interested in words, others, and themselves.

About the training:

This workshop is an invitation to listen to the invisible, to look beyond the obvious, and to let go of the rush to find answers. It proposes a path of discovery, where the body is reactivated as an antenna sensitive to small things and the gaze is re-educated as one who unearths meanings.

Between objects and memories, a space of passage is created to find “the reader” and explore readings of what exists “in between.” Here, the book is not a destination, but a bridge: between the visible and the hidden, between the word and affection, between the object and memory.

Because all reading is a mirror, and sometimes what reflects back to us is not in the text, but in what surrounds it.

➡Registration required

The event raises funds for the Ourique Children’s Choir.

It is this history that returns to the streets of Ourique every August. See the full program in the image below.
