About event
Reading is not an escape from the world, but a way to understand it. It develops our imagination, ability to concentrate, critical thinking and empathy - i.e. skills without which a democratic society cannot do. How does reading help you understand others, formulate your own opinion and resist simplification or misinformation? What are the current findings of readership research? And why are new reading communities emerging in the age of social networks and artificial intelligence? Can reading be one of the most effective tools for reducing social inequalities?
