Faced with the confinement caused by the health emergency, the Mandarache Prize proposes calm reading to counteract the overload of digital connection that we are experiencing due to Covid 19. Reading can be a respite from the psychological consequences of hyperconnection such as anxiety, emotional irritability or depression.
However, contact and communication with others is essential, so the Mandarache has adapted its planned activities to the tools offered by social networks and communication technologies, but always from the responsibility of not overloading the networks or causing the phenomenon FOMO (Fear of missing something).
In the first place, face-to-face meetings with the writer Tina Vallès, finalist for her novel 'The memory of the tree', whose visit to Cartagena was scheduled for March 31 and April 1, have been suspended.
However, these meetings will be held electronically once the students enter the academic life in the educational centers and will be organized in such a way that the author can answer the questions of the readers, as happens in the events. from the Auditorium.
The rest of the calendar activities are also postponed until we see how the events unfold in the coming weeks: mainly the voting (which were scheduled for the end of April) and the meetings with the Regional Guest Writer, José Alcaraz, as well as the deadlines for the complementary prizes in which the students can compete (micro-stories, illustration, criticism, literary videos ...).
