“We are doing what needs to be done to harvest new souls, new consciences, new spirit”, Maduro said this Thursday, October 13, in the company of the Minister of Culture, Ernesto Villegas, and the Minister of Communication and Information, Freddy Ñañez.
Maduro argued that culture, in all its forms of expression, must be brought to youth and children as a way to turn the cultural event into a process that impacts the people. “We cannot cultivate the culture of elites, we have to bring culture in all its expression to youth, to boys, to girls,” he asserted.
On the other hand, the president said that they will carry out poetry workshops in the country’s high schools.
«I am happy when they tell me that theater is reaching schools, high schools, neighborhoods; when they tell me that music is multiplied by millions among boys, girls and young people because we are doing the work that needs to be done. And when I hear that poetry is beginning to reach high schools and that poetry workshops are going to be held among students, I say: we are doing what needs to be done to harvest new souls,” said Nicolás Maduro.
Those awarded by Maduro with the National History Prize were Germán Yépez Colmenares, Emma Dolores Martínez de Delgado, Armando José González Segovia, Fabricio Vivas Ramírez and Iván Enrique Gómez León.
During this Thursday’s act, Maduro approved the Venezuelan edition of the book “My delirium on Chimborazo, 200 years of history, memory, contexts and representations” by Franklin Cepeda Astudillo (Ecuador). The writer said he agreed with the president’s proposal to stay in the country for a month to finalize this edition.
