ROLL UP YOUTH!
The program of the weekend at the Villa Le Cercle.
Promoting reading and access to books for young readers is one of the founding commitments of the Livres & Musiques Festival. In addition to the school daya specific program is planned at the Villa Le Cercle for children from kindergarten to high school throughout the Festival.
Everything is there: children's bookshop, authors signing, workshops and animations, dedicated discovery area... enough to make you want to dive into books!
New for 2017:
Play and participate in many activities around reading. Creative games, puzzles, "do it yourself" workshops, playbooks... you're spoiled for choice!
5 workshops for the youngest :
- Initiation to the Steel-Drum by the Tropique du Cancer Company
- Tale and Taste : Embark for the West Indies by Praline Gay-Para
- Illustration "Le Carnaval des Insectes" by the Tigres Gauchers
- Initiation to the comic strip by Christelle Pécout
- Dancing Singing like in the Caribbean by the Tropique du Cancer Company
Two youth projects initiated by Livres & Musiques:
A first one with the Culture/Justice mission, set up by the Normandy Region, allowing the Festival to host in 2016 an amazing exhibition created by young people from the UEAJ (Unité Éducative d'Activité de Jour de la Protection Judiciaire de la Jeunesse), the association L'Encrage and Hang'art.
A second, under the direction of the writer Belinda Cannone, with a group of students in Letters of the University of Caen becoming the editorial board of the Gazette du Festival. Based on the geographical theme, the newspaper offers an additional perspective on this edition: portraits of guest authors, interviews, reviews but also fictional texts. An edition of the Festival, distributed free of charge.
