‘G-BOOK 3 - Audience engagement activities for the social and emotional education of EU teens through gender-positive literature and digital technology’ (2024 - 2027) builds on the very successful results of previous G-BOOK, focused on the creation of the 1st EU gender-positive bibliography for children (age 3-10), and G-BOOK 2, which expanded it (range 11-14), to address the need to tackle the last, missing 15-18-year-old segment of young readers.
This project will raise awareness and engage the TG (15-18 year olds) on gender-related topics through literature, while developing their social, emotional and creative skills using digital technology and social media.
Tailored activities will include publications, workshops, and a social media campaign.
The Irish partner DCU comprises a collaboration between academics in two Schools within DCU’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences: DCU’s Centre for Research in Children’s and Young Adult Literature, School of English.
‘DCU is delighted to be supported in this third phase of the G-BOOK project. A key aim is the expansion of the current transnational online bibliography of children’s literature for readers aged 3-14 years to include books in ten different European languages for teens and young adults aged 15-18 years. As a multilingual online bibliography of literature that encourages respect and diversity and is gender positive in terms of roles and models it presents to young people, it will be an important resource for young people, parents and guardians, educators, librarians, and organisations promoting books for children and young adults. The bibliography will help foster collaborative research and also serves as an important resource for students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in particular students on the Master of Arts in Children’s and YA Literature Studies programme.’ Dublin City University
