Why read to those who don’t read yet, or the importance of implementing reading policies for early childhood

Evelyn Aixalá Coordinator of the Reading and Linguistic Education Programme of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay Participant

01-10-2024 11:15 01-10-2024 12:00 Europe/Madrid Why read to those who don’t read yet, or the importance of implementing reading policies for early childhood The word and reading provided with fondness in the early stages of life are basic needs like feeding and sleeping, particularly at a time such as this one, when there is often little time for human interaction. This talk will discuss why it’s so important for countries to invest in public reading policies for early childhood and present some successful experiences implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay.

Reading, AI and social transformation

Paulo Cosín Editorial director of Ediciones Morata Participant

01-10-2024 12:00 01-10-2024 13:00 Europe/Madrid Reading, AI and social transformation Reading as an exclusive value of human beings is what characterises human intelligence, based on the meaning of its Latin root (the ability to read, the ability to choose). It is, therefore, a distinctive element in stark contrast to artificial and animal intelligence, placing value on humans as socio-emotional beings who can find personal development, well-being and a meaning of life to secure social transformation in the multiple possibilities offered by reading. Beyond a philosophical reflection on reading and the meaning of life, we’ll discuss actions that can be put into practice and effective proposals that can connect society with reading. CC1, Sala 1.5

In most markets, children’s audio books account for around 3% of the total audio book sales. This category hasn’t grown in Spain and Latin America as much as in other markets, but it’s expected to do so in the next three years as a result of the emergence of listening devices specialising in children’s contents.

Books and emotions in children’s literature: a trend? a fashion?

Diana Comes Poet Participant

Mar González Actress and singer Participant

Arianna Squilloni Actress Participant

Verónica Bronstein Head of communication and sustainability at Grupo Unidad Editorial Moderator

03-10-2024 12:15 03-10-2024 13:15 Europe/Madrid Books and emotions in children’s literature: a trend? a fashion? In recent years, the words “emotion” and “children’s literature” have gone hand in hand. It’s great news, but teachers, librarians and mediators are being overwhelmed by the large number of books published, some of excellent quality but not others. What could be a wonderful opportunity to reach more readers might become a problem. We’ll discuss good editorial practices and how to identify the best books in an infinite universe of new releases. This call offers two proposals: 1. A round table with experts who’ll invite you to reflect on the opportunities provided by publications on emotions and the risks of bad practices when a topic becomes “fashionable”. What criteria should books in this area abide by for us to regard them as high-quality ones? 2. Chill out in a relaxing and highly inspiring setting, with a range of the best books that address the topic of emotions and feelings to discover true gems with our experts. CC1, Sala 1.2
