Zakaj so zgodbe pomembne za nas kot posameznike in za družbe, v katerih živimo? Kakšen je smisel našega življenja, če jih z nikomer ne delimo? Če nihče nikoli ne posluša naše zgodbe? Katera orodja nam lahko pomagajo pri izražanju?

Na simpoziju Let’s Tell Our Stories!, ki bo potekal v Skopju med 16. in 18. junijem, bomo govorili o pomenu pripovedovanja s teoretičnega vidika, z vidika otroške in mladinske književnosti ter z mednarodnega vidika.

Hkrati se bomo osredotočili na praktična vprašanja: poleg predstavitev več priznanih avtoric in avorjev bomo na simpoziju predstavili tudi praktične vidike. V sklopu delavnic bomo predstavili več orodij, ki nam lahko pomagajo pri delu tako z mladimi kot z odraslimi občinstvi pa tudi pri našem lastnem delu.

Simpozij bo potekal v Skopju, ogled prispovkov, ki bodo predstavljeni v petek, pa bo možen tudi preko ZOOMa na spodnji povezavi.

Toplo vabljeni, da se nam pridružite!
