Promote reading as an engine of social transformation. With this goal in mind, the José Manuel Lara Foundation, as part of the Hay Festival Forum Seville program, is launching the activity 'A Book That Changes Lives', in which the poet Defreds will meet with students from the IES Ramón Carande, located in the Polígono Sur neighborhood.
Through this initiative, students will have the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the author after reading his latest book, 'Amanecer' (Dawn), fostering an approach to reading not only as entertainment but also as a tool to enhance their education and, in doing so, empower them to choose their future with greater freedom.
This activity aligns with the philosophy of the José Manuel Lara Foundation, which aims to bring reading closer to young audiences through new figures, many of whom are active on social media. Defreds has written a dozen books, including 'Casi sin querer' (Almost Unintentionally), 'Ojalá siempre' (I Wish Forever), 'Sempiterno' (Everlasting), and 'Historias de un náufrago hipocondríaco' (Stories of a Hypochondriac Castaway), with his most recent work being 'Amanecer', published by Espasa Editorial.
