Overview
Content description
This five-day programme focuses in 2024 on four thematic strands in children’s literature research: creative writing, fairy tales, picturebooks and politics.
Details of the Children's Literature program at University of Antwerp will be announced in the following months. Participants who choose the creative writing strand will receive a short writing task, on which the final admissions will be based. They will receive more information after registration for the strand.
Each workshop includes a list with required advance reading. All participants are expected to complete this reading before the start of the workshop. A PDF of the academic articles and chapters will be provided in the Blackboard learning environment, which will become available to participants a few weeks before the summer school starts. Participants are expected to get hold of the primary reading materials themselves. Most workshops also list an assignment for students who want to earn credits for the summer school.
Please respect the deadlines and guidelines for submission. Spaces in the workshops are limited, so if you have a clear preference, it’s best to apply early to secure your place. Unfortunately, we cannot reserve spaces for students who have not completed application.
