European Children's Literary Festival in Iran
I 2004 deltok det norske Utenriksdepartementet i arbeidet med å arrangere en litteraturfestival for barn og unge i Teheran. Målet var å ta utgangspunkt i litteraturen for å skape dialog mellom ulike kulturer og tradisjoner.
Prosjekt: European Children's Literary Festival in Iran
The Children's Literary Festival in Tehran will organise several different activities. There will be performances of children's stories by Iranian children and European theatre companies, a seminar on the history of children's literature, a workshop on literature for teenagers, a drawing workshop for children and teenagers, an event entitled "The Night of the Storyteller" exploring new ways of storytelling, a presentation of the festivalon the internet, the showing of film versions of European children's stories and an exhibition of European and Iranian children's books.
The project has four aims. The first objective is to present European children's literature in an event easily accessible to an Iranian audience from all social classes. Secondly, to promote young artists and cultural activists. Third, to initiate an exchange of experiences of artists/ cultural activists from different countries, making cultural diversity visible and searching for common roots. Finally, the project aims to look for new means of intercultural dialogue, promoting mutual cultural exchange between Europe and Iran.
