French Intercultural Reading Day



Saturday 23rd May 2015 at Centre Autonome Solidaire Artistique Poblano  (15 rue Lavoisier, Montreuil) took place the “National Reading Day” called “Lire ensemble à travers les frontières culturelles”.
The event started with the presentation of the European project Clubs de Lecture (goals, activities, products). Then, the first activity started: a participative workshop “Jouons avec la literature”, conducted by the d’Elan Interculturel’s team with the collaboration of two representatives of our Estonian partner: the Library of Narva. We read classical texts into different languages, played with the various phonemes and accents, and mimed and learned from the words in the languages of the participants (French, Spanish, English, German, Italian, Russian, Estonian). 
After this ludic workshop about the reading and languages, we were pleased to let us transport to a magic world with the tales of Carine Granger. Later two workshops were organized in parallel: 
-  “Traditional tales for children”, hosted by the actor Ivan Gonzalez 
-   “Conference-workshop on the practice of the creative reading” hosted by the poet Gonzalo Yáñez
In addition, throughout the day, the participants could exchange books in the  Bibliothèque Éphémère” and tasting a delicious multicultural buffet.
