Theme:
15 to 20 year olds reading across the world: Why? Where? How?
23 August 2014
Bibliothèque nationale de France (the National Library of France), Paris, France
Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section with School Libraries Section.
In collaboration with IASL International Association of School Librarianship and the local Organizing Committee:
We invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation for the IFLA Satellite Meeting to be held in Paris, France, on Saturday August 23rd 2014, at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the National Library of France.
Young people between 15 and 20 years old around the world live in very different geographic, social, economic, every-day life conditions. Some attend secondary school or university, some work, some both study and work and some do not study nor work. Changing, fickle, they are at an age that is key for self-construction, and they often receive little support from adults.
Cultural institutions in every country struggle to attract these teenagers and young adults. They are an important target for cultural workers trying to interest them in reading. How can we give or restore a place for reading in their lives? How can 15-20 year olds that do not read be led to reading? What roles can be played by physical and digital libraries, by schools and cultural institutions, by associations and work places? This conference intends to study these questions and to produce recommendations useful to practitioners.
The expected audience is likely to include public and school librarians, teachers, cultural workers, students and scholars as well other professionals working with teenagers and young adults.
We are particularly interested in presentations on the following topics:
1. Places and practices for 15-20 year olds' reading across the world
2. What reading offerings (printed/digital), for what reading programs around the world, to render reading visible and attractive?
3. How do all actors, including young people, participate in reading programs around the world?
4. How to evaluate reading programs for 15-20 year olds?
Proposals should be sent before 31st January 2014 via email to:
