Reading increases emotional intelligence and tolerance.

There are many different emotional-cognitive, professional and useful reasons to encourage reading, but equally important is reading that develops self-awareness, self-confidence and values that are not always measurable and visible but long-term important for individual quality of life and community good.

In Croatia, 2021 is declared as THE YEAR OF READING and many schools and cultural institutions are participating. 

Therefore, this project will contribute to encouraging reading and developing a reading culture in partner schools and among the pupils. 

Main goals of the project are: to enable reading for fun and for learning, to adopt and develop reading habits, to promote books for children as well as for adults (teachers).
