This project, aimed at students in the First Cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education and Permanent Education, is integrated into the Cultural Education block. Its main objective is “to foster knowledge of Lorca's legacy from a dynamic, participatory, and interdisciplinary perspective,” as explained by the councilor for Education, Employment, and Equality.
“"This program represents a firm commitment to an education that goes beyond theoretical content, bringing our students closer to one of Granada's most universal figures through the experience of getting to know him firsthand and delving into his life and work in a completely different way, from emotion."
The initiative, which is free for participating centers, consists of an itinerant workshop-show lasting 60 minutes, led by the company Bambino Teatro. This scenic proposal takes place directly in schools, allowing students not only to attend a performance but also to actively participate in activities that promote comprehensive artistic education, combining interpretation, music, dramatized reading, and reflection.
The program explores the different stages of Federico García Lorca's life, from his childhood to his death, as well as the places and people who marked his trajectory. It addresses his work from multiple disciplines such as literature, theater, music, and historical memory. Students will work with texts from Romancero gitano, participate in dramatized readings of works such as Bodas de sangre or La casa de Bernarda Alba, and reflect on universal values such as freedom, identity, tradition, and social justice.
The councilor emphasized that this initiative aligns with Granada's bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2031, by highlighting one of the fundamental pillars of its cultural identity and bringing it closer to new generations. The program plans to hold eleven workshops during the second and third trimesters of the academic year, with the participation of eleven educational centers in Granada.
