Asian Festival of Children’s Content (AFCC)

Yap Ian — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:34:41 +0100

1. Asian Content for the World’s Children

Over a billion children in Asia lack good resources, both for their education and entertainment. Those who have the means and the access, benefit from a wide selection of edutainment material available from the West. Asian material, even those available, is seldom promoted and is therefore left unexplored. Bringing quality Asian content to children is paramount as it would make children aware of Asia’s unique environment and cultural values, promote understanding of, and love for, the literary and visual arts.

Welcome to KUOPIO-3!

The Kuopio Conferences have identified a vital issue facing the Library and Cultural communities. They have successfully highlighted the problems of how to identify low use print resources, how to preserve those materials and, more particularly, how to deal with these issues in a global environment.
