Termina el curso en el Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn con un buen n\u00famero de alumnos en los cursos generales, en los cursos especiales de conversaci\u00f3n y de preparaci\u00f3n para la selectividad, y en los cursos para ni\u00f1os y adolescentes.<\/p>\n

Los cursos de formaci\u00f3n de profesores de espa\u00f1ol como lengua extranjera se han duplicado y contin\u00faa en aumento el n\u00famero de licencias de los cursos AVE en las universidades (Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology, University College Cork, Institute of Technology Sligo y National University of Ireland en Galway). Del mismo modo, nuestro centro ha aumentado la oferta de diplomas DELE, con los niveles A1 y B1 Escolar, y las nuevas convocatorias de abril y mayo.<\/p>\n

Nuestra biblioteca, la Biblioteca D\u00e1maso Alonso, ha centrado sus esfuerzos en la difusi\u00f3n de sus recursos digitales y se mantiene en los primeros puestos de la red en n\u00famero de descargas de audiolibros y de utilizaci\u00f3n de recursos electr\u00f3nicos.<\/p>\n

Su apoyo a la actividad cultural ha sido fundamental para la celebraci\u00f3n del Festival Isla de Literatura 2013. Por otro lado, tambi\u00e9n fue la biblioteca la encargada de editar y publicar nuestro segundo libro electr\u00f3nico biling\u00fce, dentro de la serie Biblioteca Literaria<\/em>, un libro con entrevistas a diecis\u00e9is de los autores que participaron en la actividad cultural del centro.<\/p>\n

Un a\u00f1o m\u00e1s, la biblioteca ha gestionado las redes sociales de nuestro centro. A trav\u00e9s de Facebook llegamos ya a m\u00e1s de de 3500 seguidores (1300 m\u00e1s que en 2013), mientras que nuestros amigos en Twitter son casi 1800, frente al millar registrado en 2013. Y nuestro canal de v\u00eddeo, con m\u00e1s de 150 entrevistas editadas y subtituladas en ingl\u00e9s y espa\u00f1ol, ha alcanzado las 72000 reproducciones (m\u00e1s de 30000 durante este \u00faltimo a\u00f1o).<\/p>\n

La actividad cultural del centro de Dubl\u00edn sigue siendo un referente para la difusi\u00f3n de la cultura en espa\u00f1ol en Irlanda y un motivo de encuentro entre ambas culturas. Dentro del \u00e1mbito literario, cabe destacar el \u00e9xito de la segunda edici\u00f3n del ya mencionado Festival Isla de Literatura (Irish, Spanish and Latin American Festival of Literature). Nuestro festival reuni\u00f3 a 16 escritores de Espa\u00f1a, Irlanda, Argentina, Cuba, Chile y M\u00e9xico durante tres d\u00edas de mesas redondas, lecturas y otras actividades paralelas. La inauguraci\u00f3n de esta segunda edici\u00f3n, corri\u00f3 a cargo de John Banville, Premio Pr\u00edncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2014.<\/p>\n

Como miembros de EUNIC, el Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn particip\u00f3 en la celebraci\u00f3n de la Noche de la Literatura Europea. Joe Duffy, una de las personalidades radiof\u00f3nicas m\u00e1s reconocidas de Irlanda, ley\u00f3 textos de Jos\u00e9 Ovejero, Premio Alfaguara 2013.<\/p>\n

Por otro lado, en colaboraci\u00f3n con University College Dublin, el 23 de abril celebramos el D\u00eda Mundial del Libro y del Derecho de Autor rindiendo tributo a Miguel de Cervantes. Los alumnos de UCD representaron tres de sus entremeses en nuestro Caf\u00e9 Literario.<\/p>\n

La relaci\u00f3n del Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn con las embajadas hispanoamericanas se ha traducido en un programa muy completo y continuado de colaboraci\u00f3n. La sala de exposiciones sigue siendo un lugar de encuentro abierto al di\u00e1logo entre disciplinas y culturas. Prueba de ello son las diferentes exposiciones que se han programado en los \u00faltimos doce meses. La \u00abI Muestra de arte chileno contempor\u00e1neo\u00bb, comisariada por el C\u00f3nsul de Chile en Irlanda, Cristian Oschilewski, expuso 12 obras bidimensionales. \u00abEn un mundo sin rostro. Pinturas y esculturas\u00bb nos present\u00f3 las \u00faltimas creaciones de la artista espa\u00f1ola Amalia Bozal y se convirti\u00f3 en la exposici\u00f3n m\u00e1s visitada del a\u00f1o. Por su parte, dos fot\u00f3grafos espa\u00f1oles ya consagrados, Leopoldo Pom\u00e9s y Carlos Saura, mostraron su particular y amplia visi\u00f3n del retrato dentro del festival PhotoIreland.<\/p>\n

En el \u00e1mbito de la m\u00fasica, despu\u00e9s de casi diez meses desde su creaci\u00f3n, el p\u00fablico de esta ciudad ha podido disfrutar del primer concierto ofrecido por el Coro del Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, cabe destacar el esfuerzo realizado para introducir, dentro de las actividades regulares del centro, talleres de muy diversa tem\u00e1tica, dirigidos tanto a ni\u00f1os como a adultos, que complementan nuestra actividad cultural y acad\u00e9mica. Igualmente para los m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os, y tambi\u00e9n como complemento a sus clases de lengua, se han programado cuentacuentos y pel\u00edculas especialmente dirigidas a ellos y a sus familias.<\/p>\n

Esperamos seguir trabajando con toda nuestra ilusi\u00f3n, para todos vosotros, a partir de septiembre. \u00a1Feliz verano a\u00a0todos!<\/p>\n

We are now finishing the academic year 2013-2014 and, before closing our Instituto for holidays in August, we think it’s a good occasion for reflection on what we have done and what still remains for us to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the year, we had a good number of students in our general and special courses for adults, young adults and children. Our training courses for teachers of Spanish as a Foreign Language have doubled and the number of licenses of our online courses (AVE) continues to increase in Irish universities (Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology, University College Cork, Sligo Institute of Technology and National University of Ireland in Galway). Similarly, our Instituto has increased the range of DELE diplomas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our library has focused its efforts in promoting the new online resources in our e-library. The D\u00e1maso Alonso Library remains in the top of our network of libraries in number of downloads of audiobooks and use of electronic resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its support to our cultural programme has been central to the celebration of the Isla Festival of Literature. Moreover, the library was also responsible for editing and publishing our second bilingual e-book: Biblioteca Literaria 2014<\/em>, a book with interviews to sixteen of the writers who participated in our cultural activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The library managed our social media as well. Through our Facebook page, we are constantly in contact with more than 3500 friends (1300 more than in 2013), while our followers on Twitter are almost 1800, compared to nearly thousand registered in 2013. And our video channel in Youtube, with over 150 interviews edited and subtitled in English and Spanish, has reached 72000 views (over 30,000 during the last 12 months).<\/span><\/p>\n

The cultural activities programme of the Instituto Cervantes in Dublin is a benchmark for the dissemination of Spanish culture in Ireland. In the literary field, we highlight the success of the second edition of the aforementioned Isla Festival of Literature that brought together 16 writers from Spain, Ireland, Argentina, Cuba, Chile and Mexico for three days of panel discussions, readings and other activities. John Banville, Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 2014, opened this second edition.<\/span><\/p>\n

As members of EUNIC, Instituto Cervantes Dublin participated in the celebration of the Night of the European Literature. Joe Duffy, one of the most recognized radio journalists in Ireland, read texts by Jos\u00e9 Ovejero, winner of the Alfaguara Award 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, in collaboration with University College Dublin, on April 23rd we celebrated World Book and Copyright Day paying tribute to Miguel de Cervantes. UCD students represented three of its plays in our Caf\u00e9 Literario.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instituto Cervantes Dublin collaboration with the Latin American embassies in Ireland has resulted in a comprehensive programme of cultural events. Our exhibition hall is a meeting place open to dialogue across disciplines and cultures. Proof of this are the different exhibits that have been scheduled in the last twelve months. The First Chilean Contemporary Art Exhibition, curated by Chilean Consul in Ireland, Cristian Oschilewski, brought to us 12 two-dimensional works of art. In a Faceless World. Paintings and Sculptures introduced us the latest creations of the Spanish artist Amalia Bozal and became the most visited exhibition of the year. Meanwhile, two well known Spanish photographers, Leopoldo Pom\u00e9s and Carlos Saura, showed his particular vision of portrait within the PhotoIreland Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the field of music, after almost ten months since its inception, Dubliners had the opportunity to enjoy the first concert by the Choir of the Instituto Cervantes in Dublin,<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we made a great effort to introduce, within our regular activities, workshops about different topics, aimed at both children and adults. And again for the youngest, as a complement to their language classes, we scheduled storytelling and films for them to enjoy with their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

We look forward to see you all again in September. Have a very happy summer!<\/span><\/p>\n
