I hope that culture does not go on vacation in your life during the summer but that it accompanies you wherever you are during these dates when learning moves beyond the academic and professional space. What cultural activities can you enjoy during the holidays? On Formación y Estudios we list a selection of five proposals.
1. Summer cinema
The weekly billboard is renewed every Friday with the incentive of premieres that can arouse your attention. Currently, you can see a movie that revolves precisely around culture. Specifically, around the publishing universe: The library of rejected books, a very suggestive title that develops its plot around the unknown of who is the author of a literary jewel rescued from this library that has become a bestseller.
In addition, films are also taken to the streets during the summer with an offer of interesting titles in open-air cinema sessions. A cinema agenda that is completed with the television programming of channels that pay special attention to this type of content in their agenda.
2. Visit to libraries and bookstores
Reading can also accompany you during the next few weeks of this summer, which I hope will be accompanied by learning. Keep in mind that libraries update their summer hours to open their doors in the morning. In addition, you can also organize a visit to different libraries from your place of residence or to that destination that you are going to visit during the holidays to choose a title or do some literary gift for a special person. Books are an inexhaustible source of culture.
Sadly, the libraries It is going through a difficult time at a commercial level, as you can see in the example of so many points of sale that permanently close their doors due to the lack of profitability.
3 Travels
Trips that can be in the form of a short getaway, for example, day trips. In these days of tourism you can enjoy the present to the rhythm of the discovery of the beauty of that place from the point of view of the landscape, architecture, its monuments or art. Each place has a beauty that arouses the visitor's interest.
Therefore, you can integrate the cultural component in your vacation trips. Just as you can also enhance this discovery in the place where you live because although it is very familiar to you, it may surely surprise you if you dare to observe it with the eyes of someone who meets this space for the first time.
There are many different ways to travel. You can also do it through the publishing universe through travel novels that emphasize this universal experience. An example of a travel novel is Trapped in paradise by the writer Patxi Irurzun.
4. Professional development
Some people decide to attend an intensive language course during the summer holidays, while others participate in the summer agenda of the universities. Learning can become a summer experience that, in addition to feeding your mind, also enriches your present.
5. Conversation plans
Culture is shared. Therefore, conversation plans that flow around the slower pace of summer also enrich personal happiness. The intergenerational dialogue present in the family is an example of an idea that can be part of the holidays. Many of the happiest moments of summer flow around a moment of conversation around the table.
Therefore, culture is a very important ingredient that makes your holidays even more interesting.
