invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation on the theme “15 to 20
year olds - reading across the world : Why? Where? How?
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
- The professionals’ point of view : How do professionals in different
countries view young people’s reading/not reading and their reading
places?
- The young people’s point of view : What vision do 15-20 year olds in
different countries have of reading, of reading places and of
professionals?
2. What reading offerings (printed/digital), for what reading programs
around the world, to render reading visible and attractive?
- Programs for 15-20 year olds: How to introduce books to them? (design of
reading places; collection display in public libraries, school libraries,
residences and associations for young people ; oral/written presentations
of texts by teachers, librarians and others; marketing; reading clubs)
- The question of “legitimate” content: Are there « good » or « bad »
reads? Must one absolutely read? Why? How is the question of “legitimate”
content considered across the world? How do schools across the world set
the rules for reading? How is literature for young adults considered: is
it of good quality and adapted to readers? Is reading for pleasure opposed
to “high reading”?
- How is digital technology used to foster 15-20 year olds’ reading and
participation?
3. How do all actors, including young people, participate in reading
programs around the world?
- The importance of young people’s active participation in reading
programs: How are the programs organized, what skills and training are
necessary for the actors involved in those programs?
- Bringing reading and culture to 15-20 year olds where they are: outreach
programs, partnerships with other professionals; partnerships with
commercial enterprises, schools, cultural institutions, and associations.
- How to reach young people who read very little or do not read at all?
What actions and programs are needed for them?
4. How to evaluate reading programs for 15-20 year olds?
- How to devise quality evaluation?
- How to fix precise goals?
- What criteria for evaluation?
- What are the difficulties? Are difficulties for evaluation the same in
different countries?
- Case studies
