The National Book Center
(CENAL), an entity attached to the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture (MINCULTURA),
and the Miranda Project, an initiative of the Ministry of the
People's Power of Penitentiary Services for the dignification and
social reintegration of persons deprived of their liberty, carry out actions to create a plan for reading and literary training for the country
's prisons.
This was announced by
MINCULTURA through its website, in which it explained that this Thursday the Deputy Minister
of Development for the Cultural Economy and president of Cenal, Raúl Cazal,
together with the coordinator of the Miranda Project, Eileen González; the national
coordinator of the Robinson Mission, Raúl Padrón, as well as
representatives of the Southern Library, held a meeting to discuss the initiatives being developed by the
Office of Culture on the
promotion of books and reading.
Cazal stressed that CENAL
is currently building the new National
Reading Plan “Venezuela writes and reads” after the call for the revolution of
books and reading made by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro,
within the framework of the XXI International Book Fair (FILVEN).
For her part, Eileen González
highlighted the experiences of the Miranda Project focused on the
training and rehabilitation of those deprived of their liberty, so there are
great expectations for adding MINCULTURA's reading
mediation activities to prisons that can contribute to the
dignity and social reintegration of those deprived of their liberty.
Among the aspects addressed during the meeting, the possibility of incorporating MINCULTURA editorial news to prison libraries through Librerias del Sur and the launch of a schedule of reading activities for those deprived of their liberty with the support of CENAL, was raised.
