Webinar information

Description

In 2021, we launched the first and only European library of book trailers. This webinar tells the story of our international learning journey, now engaging both seasoned and new readers in today's digital society. 'Let's Book Trailers' is our creative way of bringing stories from the page to the screen while preserving the joy of traditional reading and during this session, we will explore the crucial role of staying connected to the written word in a technology-driven world.

As President of AIM, she also spent eight years with the European Public Space, collaborating with the European Commission and the Italian Office of the European Parliament.
