The Polígono Sur district of Seville is one of the neighborhoods with the lowest per capita income in Europe. However, many people work to promote the talent of the youngest. Hay Festival Forum Sevilla organizes two events along these lines.
Part One: Flamenco show with young people from the neighborhood. Sponsored by the Alalá Foundation, this is a small flamenco show, where a group of students can express the knowledge acquired in the Foundation's workshops. Dance, singing and percussion will be the main threads of this show. The Alalá Foundation has been working for more than 10 years for the social integration of minors, young people and their families in the neighborhood of Tres Mil Viviendas in Seville and in Estancia Barrera in Jerez. It supports culture, art and sports through free workshops held every week, benefiting 400 direct users.
Part Two: theatrical performance. Encouraging reading among young people and vulnerable groups has an undoubted power of social transformation. In this event, the José Manuel Lara Foundation is carrying out a project -together with the Entreamigos Association- with students from the CEIP Paz y Amistad School, in the Polígono Sur area of Seville. The young people will carry out a dramatization of the book Doiz travels to Earth, a collective work of the students themselves, which talks about respect for the differences of the people around us. The José Manuel Lara Foundation's mission is to contribute to the promotion of reading and support for education. It believes that a child who reads will be a child with more knowledge, more critical, with greater possibilities for the future and, therefore, happier.
