WORKSHOPS FOR ADULTS DEDICATED TO PHILOSOPHY AND CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
The current cycle of workshops dedicated to philosophy, literature, and childhood invites participants to read, think, question, and dialogue with and from children's books (and beyond). After all, what matters in a book? Do books ask us questions? Can we ask questions to books? What questions arise from reading? Should we avoid certain books or certain themes? What dialogues arise from reading - and questions? What is the role of the reader in the act of reading to younger people? These are some of the questions that will guide us and provoke us.
