Participation at the Day of European Authors

25-26 March 2024, Museum of Leuven

Day 1: discussions held with colleagues who face the challenges of school education. Problems of male students with reading were discussed, while the participation of women in the literary sector received little attention. What do girls gain from good grades, a love of reading, and books if the gender pay gap continues to exist?

Day 2: intensive discussions were held in working groups, in "Promoting Reading through Formal and Non-Formal Education Group," findings of the previous day were discussed, with the Italian participants emphasizing that without the necessary equipment and finances, promoting reading is difficult. It was concluded that more and better reading is necessary, especially for male students. Additionally, a very exciting working group on the topic of "Artificial Intelligence" was held, an area that is also being addressed at the European level.
