The Children's Pavilion of the Venezuela International Book Fair 2024 (FILVEN) was visited by more than a thousand girls and boys in the ten days it lasted in the spaces of the National Art Gallery (GAN), as reported by the coordinator of this space, Augusto Melero Gómez.

According to press information from FILVEN, more than 60 activities were carried out at this point in the fair, which rescues the innocence of children. Through storytelling, the construction of necklaces, bracelets and the creation of paintings, Gustavo Pereira's imaginary and his vision of the Warao ethnicity were kept current.

The activity that attracted the most attention was the creation of necklaces, which requires creativity to create an allegorical ethnic garment with feathers, seeds and many colors. “The subject of painting, of making, of building the necklace from his aesthetic vision has been a great success,” said Gómez.

Gómez indicated that several publishers and institutions participating in the 20th FILVEN were great allies for the execution of these activities, such as the National Library and Library Services Autonomous Institute (IABNSB), the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic and the Commander Hugo Chávez Foundation, among others.

Faced with the hyperstimulation currently generated by technology in children and adolescents, Gómez emphasized the need to promote more activities dedicated to literature.

“By applying coherent strategies, we can massively promote the habit of reading in children,” explained the coordinator of the pavilion, who described this action as a great challenge that is addressed from spaces such as FILVEN.
