We are on the move, the library project has begun!

September 2018

On September 17-22, two of our project members will be in Kosovo. During this week, Suzana Aljija and Safete Binaku will be reading with the children at school in the mornings and offer a workshop for teachers in the afternoon. The workshop will be led by Suzana, she will go through the teacher's guide which Ulrika Wendéus has developed specifically for our project. Right now we have teachers from 3 different schools that have shown interest in attending the workshop. Follow us on social media for more live updates. The teacher's guide will also be published here on our website under the Models tab and it will be free for all teachers to download in pdf format and use it during their lessons.

We have purchased 9 new titles that will be read during the academic year 2018-2019. The books are already in place and are expected to be distributed to the students when Suzana and Safete arrive. Stay tuned!

March 2018

Two more schools nearby have now joined our reading project and they have borrowed the Little Prince for their 6th graders. Meanwhile in Azem Bejta school the 3rd and 4th grader have begun to dive in into the world of Pippi Longstocking. The 6th grades have moved on to their new adventure with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory during their Albanian classes and during the English hour they will be reading The Diary of a Wimpy kid. Please follow us on our facebook page to see more about their reading experience.

Timeline November 2017 - February 2018

The little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry and, Anne Frank’s Diary are the two titles we chose for the children to read during the first steps of the project.

Currently, our teacher Naime Morina has read The little Prince with 6th graders and Anne Frank’s Diary with 8th graders once a week in the Azem Bejta School. Through these inspiring classics Naime together with the support of the principal Astrit Muhaxheri is broadening the perspectives of the children with the world of literature. Please follow their reading progress and journey on our facebook page.

Here are some picture form our visit there in November 2017

But that is not all! Currently 7th graders are reading the Harry Potter series as their leisure reading. This was initiated and requested by the children themselves during the early start of the project. And more is to come as the library project is only expanding!
