The Hispanic Writers Week project is an innovative, weeklong initiative that introduces Latino literary professionals from all corners of the Hispanic world to local Latino students. Utilizing interactive seminars and lectures, the project aims to educate students about the importance of using writing as a tool for educational advancement, communication, as an alternative for conflict resolution. The week-long workshops are being conducted in public school classrooms and libraries of Boston.
The Observatorio proudly sponsors the presence of Latin American writers in Boston public schools, and events hosted in Villa Victoria Center for the Arts and in different academic facilities. Readings of poetry and prose, literary lectures, music and Spanish cuisine in different parts of Boston. All events are free and open to the public.
