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)

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)
