At Iberarchivos we are pleased to announce the winners of the Children’s Contest: “What the archives told about pandemics”, a contest that was developed in connection with the microsite: In the skin of our ancestors, part of the Iberarchivos project and the Ibero-American General Secretariat.
On behalf of the Iberarchivos archival cooperation programme, the President of the Intergovernmental Council, Silvestre Almeida Lacerda, and as Technical Secretary of the Programme, Cristina Díaz Martinez, announced the winners, who are:
- Vladimir Jorge Martínez Peralta, student of School N. 423 “Yebrail Matta” from Argentina, for his great work (video).
- Yatzil Marigelia Ayuso Sima, student of the Escuela Primaria Urbana “Carlos R. Menéndez” of Mexico, for her great work (drawing).
- Laura Riberio Rodrigues, student of the Escola Dr. António Augusto Lauro de de de Portugal, for her great work (text).
We would like to acknowledge the work and effort of each of the award winners, the works are very representative and undoubtedly provide important reflections on archives and pandemics.
The selected works will be disseminated on the Programme’s social networks and website, in addition to receiving recognition. We are very happy with this project, but above all we are satisfied to be able to provide an approach to archives, history and the way to stop pandemics, such as the one we recently experienced.
Congratulations and congratulations on this great work!
