About this Event

The Instituto Cervantes in Manchester continues its program to promote children’s reading.
In this session, we will read El sueño de Ilán (Ilán’s Dream), a story about something as difficult and human as the loss of a loved one. This tale can be a resource, an ally to face situations of pain and loss, and to understand and cope with grief.
Come and enjoy an afternoon in our library with a creative, fun activity that will make you think. We look forward to seeing you!
An unfinished story from the Coloria collection that encourages creativity, invites reflection, and involves participants in creating their own ending.

Summary: Ilán and his grandmother talk about dreams. Ilán asks questions. How is it possible that we travel with dreams while our body sleeps? Do humans leave seeds in the ground, like flowers, when we are no longer here?

In collaboration with Manchester City of Literature and Read Manchester – National Literacy Trust.
Recommended age: 7 and up
Free bilingual activity in Spanish and English.

El Instituto Cervantes de Manchester continúa su programa de promoción de la lectura infantil.

En esta sesión, leeremos Los sueños de Ilán, una historia sobre algo tan difícil y humano como la pérdida de un ser querido. Este cuento puede ser un recurso, un aliado para afrontar situaciones de dolor y muerte, y para comprender y afrontar el duelo.

Ven a disfrutar de una tarde en nuestra biblioteca con una actividad creativa, divertida y que te hará pensar. ¡Te esperamos!

Una historia inacabada de la colección Coloria que anima a la creatividad, invita a la reflexión e implica a los participantes para crear un final propio.


Resumen: Ilán y su abuela hablan de los sueños. Ilán se hace preguntas. ¿Cómo es posible que viajemos con los sueños mientras nuestro cuerpo duerme? ¿Dejamos los humanos semillas en la tierra, como las flores, cuando ya no estamos?


En colaboración con Manchester City of Literature y Read Manchester - National Literacy Trust.

Edad recomendada: a partir de 7 años.

Actividad gratuita y bilingüe, en español e inglés.
