Palestine in Chile

The president of PBBY Jehan Helou has the honor to be the host of Mónica Munizaga’s course at the "Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh)”. She was asked to talk about the work of IBBY’s Palestine "Children in Crisis" in Gaza libraries. Her presentation included many pictures and background information detailing the oppressive situation in Gaza where children are denied their basic human rights. In this course Diploma for Reading Promotion and Children’s literature, students learn how to promote reading among migrants who came to Chile from Venezuela, Haiti, and Colombia. In an interactive discussion with students who work with refugees, she talked about PBBY’s experience with Bibliotherapy and the different psycho-social activities that aim to release the great stress the children endure, and the students were able to share their experiences too.
For our Spanish-speaking friends, here is the full discussion.
