About the conference

The Day of European Authors is an initiative of the European Commission to reconnect younger generations with book reading and to help them discover the diversity of European literature.

In the frame of the first edition of the Day of European Authors, the Commission organised on 27 March 2023 a one-day conference in Sofia on reading promotion, gathering Member States’ representatives of the ministries of Culture or Education, relevant public institutions and national NGOs active in this field as well as organisations representing the book and cultural sectors at European level.

The conference was an opportunity to share examples and practices on how the education system and the book sector collaborate to implement reading promotion actions in schools at local, national and European level.
