American Corner Debrecen organizes a presentation, a workshop, and a Kids’ Corner event on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
KidLit: Approaches to American Children’s and Young Adult Literature
What is “kidlit”? What are the borders of children’s literature, and who is the target audience? What is the difference between a young adult and a child? How are such literary works approached in academia? To learn the answers to these questions (and perhaps give your take on them), join this month’s interactive presentation at 4:30 pm on the 30th of May (Thursday).
Take a look at past and current trends and genres in American children’s and young adult fiction! Explore how popular books for adults influence works for a younger audience! Embrace your inner children during the discussion of the novels that played a crucial part in your childhood!
The event will be led by György Kiss, a PhD candidate at the Institute of English and American Studies, UD, who is an avid reader and researcher of children’s and young adult literature. The event is organized in the framework of the “IEAS goes to AC” series.
CEE Program Application Workshop
The Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) equips dedicated emerging young leaders, ages 21-27, with the expertise, skills, and resources to develop multisector approaches and build healthy and engaged communities in over 100 countries. The program is a year-long program designed to enable civil society leaders to harness the power of networks, relationships, and information for the public good, specifically on issues related to civic dialogue and peacebuilding, open and participatory government, women and gender, resilience and sustainable development, and youth engagement.
During the program, fellows will participate in a practicum in the U.S. for three months, receive mentorship from global civil society experts, develop their leadership capacity, and invest in a network of dedicated individuals and organizations impacting meaningful change in communities around the globe.
