Vietnam-Denmark Children’s Literature Support Project
Go to website
Email Address: Undisclosed
Editor/Founder: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark
Country: Vietnam, Denmark
Type: Writers' Prize
Description: Vietnam has a rich oral tradition of legends and songs as well as high literacy rates, which promote the development of written literature. Amongst children the interest in literature is growing, and foreign books and cartoons are becoming increasingly popular. To further support the development of Vietnamese children’s literature, the program aims at strengthening the capacity of Vietnamese authors and illustrators as well as the use of children’s books in education in schools and within the family. The support to children’s literature will most probably be based on a partnership between a Vietnamese publishing house, Hanoi Writers Association and the Danish Writer Association. The aim is to support the development of Vietnamese children’s literature that has a wide scope and appeal to the children and strengthen their imagination and critical sense. The focus is on capacity development of Vietnamese authors and illustrators, which will take place through seminars and joint production of a children’s book. To further promote children’s literature and its practical use, reader’s clubs will be established at primary schools and the current fairytale express will be continued annually.
