The C\u0103rturino Tour, organized by the C\u0103rture\u0219ti Foundation over the course of one month, will take eight male and female writers and eight children\u2019s book illustrators to meet readers from Romanian communities in eight European countries.<\/p>\n
The project was launched in response to the fact that more than 400,000 Romanian children were born outside Romania between 2009 and 2023 alone, the C\u0103rture\u0219ti Foundation said, quoting data from the National Institute of Statistics. \u201cThis means there is a generation at risk of growing up hearing Romanian without reading or writing it,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n
The tour aims to keep Romanian-language literature alive among the diaspora communities. As such, the winning and finalist authors and illustrators of the C\u0103rturino Awards will hold workshops in which they will read from their own books to children and draw the characters from their stories with them. At the same time, parents will be invited to discussions about the importance of reading in Romanian as part of children\u2019s education.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor children in the diaspora, a book written by a Romanian author and thoughtfully illustrated is also a way of maintaining a connection with their own identity. Through this tour, we want the Romanian language to take root in their imagination, carried by the voices of numerous talented writers who bring freshness to it and keep it alive and creative, so that children can discover stories that feed their imagination and bring them closer to the Romanian language and the joy of reading. Because every great reader starts, at some point, with a single book that makes them dream,\u201d Roxana T\u0103n\u0103sachi, Corporate Affairs Manager at C\u0103rture\u0219ti, said.<\/p>\n
