En este primer episodio de BibliObservatorio, Caroline Smith, consultora en servicios de inclusión y diversidad, entrevista a Ivette Villarreal, quien indaga sobre la conexión entre los cuentos favoritos leídos o contados en la infancia y cómo éstos definen la vida de la gente.

Sus primeras memorias la llevan a los cuentos de Tío Tigre y Tío Conejo contados y recreados por su padre. Estas narraciones de la tradición oral de Venezuela entretuvieron su niñez y jugarían un rol importante para ella al encontrarse con el legado de Rafael Rivero Oramas, narrador y cineasta venezolano, quien a lo largo de su vida se dedicó a fomentar la lectoescritura en la infancia por vía editorial y radial.

Animada por remembranzas alegres, crea BibliObservatorio, plataforma multimedia para promover la lectoescritura en la infancia y adolescencia, además de propiciar la escucha activa y conversaciones conscientes; en BibliObservatorio, convergen la magnificencia del universo vista a través de la infancia y un poema de Rubén Darío, en donde el libro es un telescopio, para explorar cuentos que crean conciencia sobre la unicidad del ser.

BibliObservatory - Episode 1 (English)

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 14:00:00 +0000

In this first episode of BibliObservatory, Caroline Smith, Inclusive Services Consultant, interviews co-host of this series, Ivette Villarreal, who searches the connection between people’s favorite books or stories heard in childhood and how those stories define their lives.

Her earliest memories take her to the stories of Uncle Tiger & Uncle Rabbit retold by her father. These traditional tales from her homeland Venezuela amused her as an infant and also played an important role later when she came across the legacy of Rafael Rivero Oramas, a Venezuelan storyteller and filmmaker, who dedicated his life to children’s literacy efforts in his country.

Encouraged by those joyful remembrances, she created BibliObservatory, a multimedia platform to promote children’s and teens literacy through storytelling by engaging them in active listening and mindful conversations; In BibliObservatory the magnificence of the universe seen from a child’s eye converge with a poem by Rubén Darío (Nicaragua) in which the book is a telescope to explore oral stories that creates awareness of each individual´s uniqueness.
