Our core\u00a0mission<\/a>\u00a0here at World Kid Lit is to support\u00a0young people\u2019s awareness\u00a0of and\u00a0access\u00a0to diverse, inclusive, global literature, both literature in translation and English-language texts and authors from every continent of the world.<\/p>\n

We do this all year round by providing free<\/strong> resources<\/strong>, book reviews, creator interviews and recommended book lists\u00a0on our website<\/a>\u00a0and on social media, with an extra\u00a0special splurge every September, for\u00a0World Kid Lit Month<\/a>!<\/p>\n

As a registered\u00a0community interest company, we have annual overheads\u00a0including our statutory reporting and accounts, insurance and other administrative expenses.<\/p>\n

Please help us to keep our wonderful World Kid Lit ship sailing by becoming a regular donor, or donating to our crowdfunding campaign. Over on our fundraising page<\/a>, you can get yourself an anniversary mug or organic cotton bag featuring our iconic reading boy logo by Brazilian illustrator Thiago Lopes. You can also support one of the specific schools projects outlined below.<\/p>\n

Some of the workshops we offer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The second strand of our\u00a0mission<\/a>\u00a0is to support the\u00a0education and library\u00a0sectors to enable greater access for young people to global literature, and to positive experiences of translation, language learning and multilingual creativity.<\/p>\n

Besides our free online resources, we also bring World Kid Lit into schools, distributing\u00a0free global literature book bundles<\/a>, and hosting\u00a0inspiring talks and assemblies (in school in the UK and online anywhere), and creative translation workshops<\/a>, together with the Stephen Spender Trust. <\/p>\n

Exploring languages from beyond the curriculum, these school events<\/a> help young people value their home and heritage languages, and see language learning as a creative superpower. The workshops take pupils through the translation process from codebreaking to creative writing, showing how books travel and how we can travel by book. <\/p>\n

Head over to our Fundsurfer page<\/a> to donate, and if you would like to you can nominate a specific school \u2013 find out more here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

On top of this, we\u2019re very\u00a0excited about our new project bringing inclusive, international books into schools and libraries:\u00a0our\u00a0Schools\u2019 International Reading Award<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Schools\u2019 International Reading Awar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Now entering its second year, this Award rewards creative\u00a0projects in schools that promote international reading for pleasure. It\u2019s open to schools anywhere in the world (where English is one of the teaching languages of the school) and last year the winning schools were in the UK, USA and the Netherlands.\u00a0The prizes for the three winning schools (one for each age category) are international book bundles,\u00a0generously donated by our\u00a0publisher sponsors.<\/p>\n

The costs of running this Award include printing costs for posters and certificates, an honorarium for the judges and administrator, and postage for the book bundles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please head over to our Fundsurfer page<\/a> to support this exciting initiative encouraging curious, discerning, globe-trotting young readers.<\/p>\n

And finally \u2026 two other ways you can support World Kid Lit!<\/h3>\n
