Luna Literaturii Europene

Anul acesta sărbătorim cărţile şi scriitorii europeni pe parcursul unei luni întregi, în luna octombrie. Luna Literaturii Europene este o iniţiativă care îşi propune să evidenţieze patrimoniul reprezentat de literatura europeană şi de a inspira tinerii să (re)descopere plăcerea de a citi.

Programul include proiecţii de filme – ecranizări ale unor romane europene, workshopuri pentru elevi despre scriitori din ţările europene şi câştigători ai premiilor literare europene, activităţi pentru şcoli, activităţi pentru profesori, online şi faţă-în-faţă, despre predarea literaturii şi cum să faci din lectură o activitate distractivă, activităţi pentru biblioteci despre cum să promovezi cititul din plăcere, o seară de poezie urbană, schimburi de carte, saloane literare şi workshopuri de traduceri.

Evenimentele şi activităţile se vor desfăşura pe tot parcursul lunii octombrie la Bucureşti, Iaşi, în şcolile din România şi în mediul online, promovând următoarele mesaje:

  • Cititul este distractiv;
  • Cititul este util – cititorii activi au succes la învăţat şi în viaţă;
  • Cititul te ajută să interacţionezi cu alte culturi şi să le înţelegi mai bine.

Publicul este invitat să îşi declare dragostea pentru lectură pe reţelele de socializare: fie locul preferat pentru lectură, cartea lor preferată sau personajul preferat, folosind hashtag-ul #EUcitesc.

European Comics Festival (Romanian exhibition) in Republic of Moldova

One of the main objectives included in the project from the very beginning was that, after its display in Bucharest, to make the exhibition travel to at least two other countries/cities abroad.

Republic of Moldova was highly envisioned, especially because members of the newly formed local cluster in Moldova did not manage to organize any constant activity until now. Taking into consideration the important cultural and lingvistic link between Romania and Republic of Moldova it was assumed as a moral responsibility for EUNIC Romania cluster to extend its activity, to try to increase the awareness about collaborative EUNIC projects, encouraging in the same time the proactivity in EUNIC Moldova cluster. Due to budget and space limitations, it was decided that only the Romanian comics exhibition to travel to Moldova (Cahul and Chișinău).

The idea to partnership with MOLDOX – International documentary film festival for social change (Cahul, 23-28 September 2017) and ANIM’EST Festival (Chișinău, 26-29 October) came up through the Romanian Cultural Institute.
