About this plan

Story Afternoons is a free cultural plan in Bogotá for older adults who want to read, talk, and share memories of the neighborhood. The meeting spot is the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library, Tunal branch, in the Tunjuelito district. It works as a local gathering point where words build a bridge between generations.

Across several sessions the group works through stories, photos, maps, and writing and drawing exercises. The goal is to recall the places and experiences that shaped life in the area. Together, the conversation builds a shared memory and treats the library as an open space where the community's stories get heard, cared for, and turned into shared narratives.

What to expect

  • Free gathering for older adults
  • Reading, conversation, and group making
  • Work with photos, maps, and stories
  • Memory of the Tunjuelito district
