About this plan

Biblioteca Pública Arborizadora Alta opens its doors to a special event for kids in Bogotá. The gathering honors the older adults of the neighborhood. The activity is called "Living Memories to Honor Old Age: Rebellious Voices." It takes children on a journey through the memories of their grandparents, using their words, songs, and advice.

The afternoon centers on a dialogue circle where participants share phrases, coplas, and songs they have learned at home. Then the group reads the story "El plato de madera," a tale about caring for and treating older people with kindness. To close, each child leaves a mark with a drawing and a few verses dedicated to the wisdom of their grandparents.

The event is free and fits well into a family afternoon in Bogotá. The date on the calendar is August 22. It is always a good idea to check the date and time on the library's page, since last-minute changes can happen.

What to expect

  • Intergenerational dialogue circle
  • Reading of the story El plato de madera
  • Creating coplas and verses
  • Final drawing as a sign of respect
