G-Book - Gender Identity: Child Readers and Library Collections

Creative Europe Project on Gender positive Library collection for children. Objectives: 1. to support the circulation of “gender-positive children’s literature” at EU level and to share the knowledge among libraries, research centers, non-profit sectors on connection between children’s literature and gender identity. 2. to stimulate and to encourage local libraries to enrich their offer (number of books) of gender-positive children’s literature. 3. to raise awareness within local communities on the importance (and benefits) of gender-positive children’s literature and to encourage parents, teachers, pedagogues and local administrators to adopt and to embrace this kind of literature in their educational and policy makers’ processes, supporting in the meantime the libraries to expand the number of their “users”. The project intends to be coherent with 2 main priorities of Creative Europe Programme - Support for European cooperation projects: Transnational Mobility and Audience Development.
