João Evaristo, responsible for the Youth House of the Municipality of Olhão, presents the work to young students, accompanied by some of the authors who contributed to this work, which was born from an initiative of the Youth House with the aim of revealing and promoting the talents of our land and promote our culture and literary heritage.
This anthology comprises 23 surprising works of poetry, prose and comic books, selected from dozens of competing works, as a result of a challenge addressed to people from Olhão, over 14 years old, born or living in Olhão, without works published in the modalities that they integrate. this anthology.
It is, therefore, a commitment to indigenous creation that proves the creativity and talent of our people. In order to publicize the first edition, the selected authors and works were given several presentations to the general public, namely at the Municipal Library and at the Sociedade Recreativa Olhanense.
Going to schools adds to the objective of promoting reading, encouraging the participation of young people in this initiative and promoting literary production among the school-age public with the perspective of integrating the next edition, already in 2013.
