DLSU and Instituto Cervantes host creative writing lecture

De La Salle University and Instituto Cervantes de Manila will host “Encuentros en la literatura” (Encounters in Literature) featuring Juan Manuel de Prada, an acclaimed Spanish writer, at the European Documentation Center of the Henry Sy Sr. Hall on March 18.

 

De Prada, an award-winning critic, journalist, and novelist will engage in conversation with DLSU Assistant Professor and award-winning fictionist Vicente Garcia Groyon. “Encuentros” aims to serve the local community’s cultural life by being an avenue for nurturing the craft of literary writing and creative practices between cultures.

 

Organized by the Bienvenido N. Santos Creative Writing Center (BNSCWC) and Instituto Cervantes de Manila, it was supported by the Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Culture (PICE), an organization which facilitates the presence and collaboration of Spanish artists in the international activities and programs of benchmark foreign cultural organizations and institutions, both public and private. — DLSU news release
