The Schools Programme has been a popular component of the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival from the very beginning. Every year we have invited students to experience a wonderful programme that allows them to interact with, learn from and be inspired by acclaimed, popular and beloved authors.
The Festival commits to investing in the readers and writers of the future. By presenting a programme that allows readers and writers of all ages to interact, we wish to encourage an appreciation of the written word and to foster a love of literature. We hope that the Schools Programme will have a lasting impact on the students who attend.
From 10 March 2010 to 19 March 2010 primary and secondary students will have the opportunity to attend author events. The complete Schools Programme will be announced in October. E-Newsletters will be sent to schools and information about how to book will be posted on the website. To find out more or to be added to our schools database, please contact officemanager@festival.org.hk
Please note that these events are for school groups only as they take place during school hours. For information about the full programme, please see the Programme page.
Thank you to our sponsors for making the Schools Programme possible. Man Investments and Asia Literary Review continue their generous support of the Festival for the 2010 Schools Programme and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department continues to help by hosting the events at the Central Library and the Science Museum.
Dymocks Booksellers returns for its second year as a sponsor and bookseller. Order forms for the participants’ books will be provided in October ensuring that the books arrive before the Christmas holidays.
