1. Family Literacy
The first webinar will explore the approaches to reading and education that allow adults and children to learn and grow together: they develop the literacy strengths of the family and indeed of the whole community. We will discuss case studies of good practice in Ireland, and three projects: Stories That Create Bonds (and Readers) in Switzerland, Intergenerational Reading of Young Adult Books in Slovenia and Stories make Readers in Finland.
Date/Time: 25 October 2022 17:30 – 19:45 CET. (Dublin, London 16:30 – 18:45; Athens, Helsinki 18:30 – 20:45)
The programme is available here, you can register here.
2. Children’s Literature goes Digital
The second webinar will explore the world(s) of contemporary children’s literature, and discuss its multimodal ways of communicating, and understanding. We will discuss (1) a nationwide project delivering more than 60,000 language books to schools, (2) approaches to exploring and understanding children’s interactive e-books, (3) the unreliable narration in children’s literature, including new forms of literature, and apps and (4) a way to create a better reading experience on the smartphone in the form of a research-based app.
Date/Time: 17 November 2022, 17:00 – 19:15 CET. (Dublin, London 16:00 – 18:15; Athens, Helsinki 18:00 – 20:15)
