MiCultura promotes oral narrative from digital platforms

Panama, March 26, 2020 - The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) is promoting spaces of oral storytelling through Nobel writers of literature awards as part of the great campaign ♪ Keep at Home The war with the Coronavirus.

Carlos Fong, manager of the Office for the Promotion of Reading at MiCultura, debuts as a Youtuber storyteller to tell a tale every day as long as the quarantine lasts from 4 p.m. on his Facebook account and at 5 p.m. on his Instagram channel for all interested to participate.

"Oral storytelling benefits children from early childhood to acquire language and thought and adults to give us back the social value of the word. Let's hold the word from home, that we do not have to # COVID19 It stops the power of culture, "Fong added.

According to a literary promoter, "tales teach us how to be empathic, solidarity and co-operative and how to think more about what we seem to be more about than about what's different from what's different. Even with talking about differences, oral narrative is a dimensional conversation with the other."

In these dynamics, the writer of the novel Aviones inside the house and the storybills from the other and Fragments from a shipwreck will extend concepts about great beginnings of novels and tales, great micro- and fantastic accounts.

"Let's celebrate the word that's the best way to communicate and solidarity. Let's celebrate with the stories that help us to be empathic and sensitive in times of crisis. May the cult to death be defeated by the word. Because the stories do count," the storyteller shared.
