The Social Observatory Cafe | Reading and Writing: the Value of Words, by Raquel Lanseros

As narrative beings who express themselves through words, reading and writing take on an undeniable importance in our lives. In this episode of the ”la Caixa” Foundation Observatory Café, Raquel Lasneros, poet and professor of Language and Literature Education, argues that these experiences are not confined to the academic and intellectual fields, but rather play a crucial role in the development of effective and affective communication. What's more, in an increasingly digitalised environment, physical books take on a central role: that of a memory technology that makes it possible to preserve and convey knowledge across the great march of time, thus ensuring that the ideas and experiences of past generations are accessible to present and future generations. Reading, writing and the responsible use of words amount to a necessary and irreplaceable sustenance in the construction and development of our individual identities and shared culture.
