Conference on youth culture and literature
June 4, 2013
‘Mionteanga, Mórscéalta’ is the title and theme of the third conference on youth literature and culture, taking place next September.
Youth culture and literature have come to the fore over the last few years and the focus of this year’s conference will be the importance of youth literature in a cultural and language based context.
The aim of the conference is to spark both discussion and debate on overcoming the challenges facing the Irish language within literature and youth culture and will be geared towards educators, students, publishers, translators, artists and others interested in youth literature and culture.
The conference organisers are seeking speakers for the event. Those interested are asked to send a title and summary (250 words) of their speech, along with a biography (50 words) to litriochtnanog13@gmail.com before 5pm, 14 June 2013. From poetry to singing, youth organisations for young Irish speakers to college courses, there is a wide range of topics to speak on.
The conference will take place in Marino Institute of Education, Griffith Avenue, Dublin 9 on 20-21 September 2013.
