Juan Gabriel Leiva and Ingrid Silva in conversation with Laura Puello

Cartagena 2025, 
Since 2014, the university press of the Technological University of Bolivar (UTB) has been working on a book collection called Semilla, whose goal is to boost a love of reading and literature among young people and adults in the UTB. To create the collection, the press has carefully selected major works from different genres and authors of world literature. At this event, Juan Gabriel Leiva (Editorial Coordinator at the UTB) and Ingrid Silva (Humanities Coordinator) will talk about this reading promotion initiative and the first ten years of a publishing project that makes books available for free. In conversation with Laura Puello.
