The web "Poesia a l'Escola" converted into book form

A reduced version of the web page "Poesia a l'escola" by Magisteri Teatre * Mag Posia, created by Antoni Artigues with support from MallorcaWeb, has just been published in its book format; a pioneer initiative bearing in mind that the tendency is just the opposite, i.e. transforming books into digital format.

The collection, published by Edicions Cort with the support of the Balearic Government's Department for Education and Culture, comprises four volumes: the book "Poesia a l'escola" with indications for teachers and different anthologies, and three poetic note books for the different school cycles.

Poetry is, together with maths, a superability needed for integral education throughout school years, according to J.Bruner. An yet it is developed very little in the primary and secondary centres. The objective of working with poetry in schools, which will be presented on Friday, February 23 within the XII Catalan Book Week, is "to train youngsters so that throughout their school and at the end, they are able on their own, that is with their initiative, to read, to say, to produce poems. Simply because, they want to and have the possibility."

The presentation ceremony will be attended by the author, Antoni Artigues; the teacher from the Col·legi de Pràctiques Catalina Noguera; the poetess Margalida Pons; and the MallorcaWeb webmaster, Elena Vera.
