Intercultural project with the aim of:
- Disseminating Spanish literature, with emphasis on Latin American literature in Monaco Collège Charles III.
- Encouraging reading interest and contributing Spanish Wichi community children development, in a higly precarious and difficult access area in Salta Province, Argentina.
AMA, in collaboration with Fundación Adriática, provided the necessary elements for the creation of the Reading Corner.
Collège Charles III, through AMA´s direct management, has opened “Rincon de Borges”; and THANKS to the support of numerous donors, we could contribute once more to education and create this nice and sociable corner. The school has 400 students learning Spanish.
We want to THANK the prestigious photographers Sara Facio and Eduardo Comesaña, authors of the emblematic photographs that decorate the room, and also Alfredo Genovese, visual and filete artist and auhtor of the painting “Rincón de Borges”.
‘A special mention to the Mexican writer María García Esperón, who for the opening day sent us not only one of her award-winning works inspired in Borges, “Tigres de la otra Noche” but also a video where she recites the beautiful poem ‘Las Causas’ (The Causes) by the brilliant Jorge Luis Borges.’
