World Book Day Add to Note
23 Apr, 2025 to 23 Apr, 2025
About the event
A day to celebrate the joys of books and reading. This day is actually specific to the UK and Ireland. Other countries celebrate World Book Day on the 23rd of April (St Georges Day), in the UK we call that day 'World Book Night'.
How to approach it
Books are wonderful tools that allow students to better understand the thoughts and experiences of others. Developing a global, compassionate outlook requires encouraging empathy and an intimate understanding of the diverse experiences around the world. World Book Day offers a tremendous opportunity to develop empathy for those living in different national, economic and cultural contexts. Students can be shown the incredible diversity of literature, and be encouraged to read something written by someone very different from themselves. Beyond this, students should be free to follow their curiosity. This day offers the chance to develop a fascination and reverence for diversity.
