World Book
and
Copyright Day
"READ … until no strangers remain.
WHY READING IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER!
On World Book and Copyright Day, especially in uncertain times, we must cherish and defend books as symbols of hope and dialogue. (…)
On World Book and Copyright Day, UNESCO calls on its partners to share the message that books are a force to address contemporary challenges, to understand political and economic realities, and to combat inequalities and misinformation.
Storytelling is an incredibly effective tool when it comes to educating younger generations. Indeed, books are vital vehicles to access, transmit and promote education, science, culture, and information worldwide. For this reason, every year, on 23 April – a date that marks the departure of three great authors of universal literature, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega – we celebrate their captivating power to spark innovation, generate knowledge and change minds."
