A Celebration of Reading and the Power of Words
Every year on April 23rd, we celebrate World Book Day, an event organized by UNESCO to promote reading, publishing, and copyright. This day is an opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of books in our lives and to pay tribute to the power of words to transport, educate, and inspire us.
A Symbolic Date
The choice of April 23rd as World Book Day is not trivial. Indeed, it is the date of death of several world-renowned authors, such as William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
The Importance of Reading
Reading is an essential activity for personal and intellectual development. It allows us to acquire new knowledge, develop our imagination and empathy, and better understand the world around us. In a world where digital distractions are ubiquitous, it is more important than ever to preserve the time devoted to reading. Books offer us a gateway to different worlds and allow us to escape from our daily lives.
A Tribute to Authors and Publishers and... Youg People.
World Book Day is also an opportunity to pay tribute to the authors and publishers who contribute to the creation and dissemination of books. Thanks to their work, we have access to a multitude of stories, ideas, and different perspectives. It is particularly important to promote reading to young people. By instilling in them a love of reading from an early age, we offer them the keys to a world rich in discovery and learning.
Many initiatives exist to encourage reading among children and adolescents, such as book clubs, youth libraries, and literary events.
