The Guatemala International Book Fair (Filgua) is about to conclude another edition. Therefore, during its last weekend it will offer a wide variety of activities for children.
Between characters, storytellers, the projection of the soccer game and the participation of reading hairdresser Danny Beuerbach, a guest from Germany, children will be able to enjoy a space dedicated to the promotion of reading.
Storytelling with Alexis, the presentation of the Devoralibro and the circus workshop for children “Learning by playing and playing by learning” are part of a special agenda for the little ones in the home.
Likewise, Filgua will broadcast the final of the FIFA World Cup, in which Spain and Argentina will compete for the title.
At its 150 stands, visitors will be able to purchase a wide variety of children’s, adventure, science fiction and popular science books to awaken children’s imagination and curiosity.
This is the agenda for the weekend.
