Operation Rescue” of libraries to promote reading begins
Organized by the non-profit association Tantágora, the FLIC Festival has become a benchmark in the field of children’s literature, fusing artistic disciplines, play and creativity to bring reading to new generations in a unique and fun way.
FLIC Festival 2024 to celebrate children’s and young adult literature
One of the most exciting new features of this edition is the inclusion of the FLIC Prize, which will be awarded for the first time by a mixed jury composed of three young readers and three experts in children’s and young adult literature.
This award will address the issue of censorship in children’s and young adult literature, exploring how this phenomenon manifests itself in a seemingly free world.
