Paving the Way for the Future: Responsibility in Children’s Book Publishing 

The focus is on the topic of ‘responsibility’ that publishing books for children and young adults entails. Which stories need to be told that will foster respect and mutual understanding? How do we communicate the values that are important in order to better understand the world around us?  

How do we promote access to books and what concepts are there to support children with stories, even in crisis situations? 

International experts will discuss these questions in three panels. At the end of the conference, moderated breakout sessions offer the opportunity to discuss topics more in depth.

The conference will be moderated by award-winning author and translator Lawrence Schimel.

Costs: 226.10 € (inkl. VAT). The profit is donated to the charity Doctors without Borders.
