Medellin will host the third annual Youth Reading Conference as part of the Municipal Reading Plan.
The gathering to promote reading will offer all participants a chance to explore the world of reading through many mediums: movies, music, workshops, graffiti, lectures, and of course, books. It also aims to incorporate new technologies as a means of enjoying different forms of literature.
Topics for this year’s event are death, memory, and their meanings.
This 24-hour nonstop event will take place at the San Lorenzo Cemetery on July 9-10 from 2PM Saturday to 2PM Sunday. The convention will be the culmination of Youth Week 2011.
