Hay Forum Sevilla 2024

Baby boomers, Spain 82´s football mascot Naranjito, the Spanish transition to democracy, la movida (The Madrid Scene), la mili (compulsory military service) and so on and so forth. Each generation has its own touchstones that shape the narrative legacy they leave to what future generations will call history. What legacy will Generation Z – or “Generation Screen” - leave? The climate crisis? Artificial intelligence? 50 young people will come together to reflect on what narrative they want to leave to history. They will explore actions they want to take so as not to be remembered as the generation of dangers, challenges and crises, but as a generation with dreams, passions and the motivation to leave a world a little brighter than the one they found. All this reflection will take place in spaces that break traditional moulds: participative, artistic, fun and creative spaces. They will be guided by artists and facilitators specialised in social and cultural innovation.

Led by its CEO, Kike Labián, Kubbo brings together interdisciplinary artists who seek to address social challenges of the 21st century such as education, equality or ecology. A living example of his activity is 'Mayumana', a dance and percussion show that visually and emotionally captures the viewer through dance and percussion. Energy, rhythm, creativity, emotion and humor to ensure that joy prevails even over art.

The project is divided in two sessions:

• First session: 10:00 - 14:00 h
• Second session: 16:30 - 18:30 h

Event in Spanish

Tres Mil Viviendas, the neighbourhood with the lowest per capita income in the European Union. The children from this school, many of whom are Roma, will get to talk with the author of two works that they themselves have chosen and read beforehand. The aim of the meeting is to encourage reading, and at the same time to explore the idea that books are not only a source of escape or leisure, but that more and better reading, can lead to them improving their grades and opening doors to a better future. The José Manuel Lara Foundation pursues social transformation through reading, as it believes that a young person who reads will gain more knowledge, be more skilled in critical thinking, with greater opportunities for the future and, therefore, happier.

Redry, David Galan, teacher from Valladolid, the poet of the networks and winner of the ESPASAPOESIA 2019 award. He is the author chosen by the students of the high school IES Ramon Carande.
