Tamer Institute For Community Education Awarded the 2009 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award
The 2009 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award has been awarded to the Tamer Institute For Community Education, promoters of reading active on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The jury's reasons:
With perseverance, audacity and resourcefulness, the Tamer Institute has, for two decades, stimulated Palestinian children's and young adult's love of reading and their creativity. Under difficult circumstances, the Institute carries out reading promotion of an unusual breadth and versatility. In the spirit of Astrid Lindgren, the Tamer Institute acknowledges the power of words and the strength of books, stories and imagination as important keys to self-esteem, tolerance and the courage to face life.
The award will be presented by HRH Crown Princess Victoria on 2 June in the Stockholm Concert Hall in the presence of the Swedish Minister for Culture, Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth. The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the world’s largest prize for children’s and young people’s literature. The prize totals SEK 5 million (equivalent to approx. USD 578,000, 445,000 EUR) and is awarded annually to a single recipient or to several. Authors, illustrators, storytellers and those active in reading promotion may be rewarded. The prize aims to strengthen and increase interest in children’s and young people’s literature globally. The award is designed to strengthen children’s rights at global level. An expert jury names prize-winners who are nominated by institutions and organisations worldwide. The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award is administered by the Swedish Arts Council.

My name is Kira Bromwich, and I am a sophomore at a high school in
Washington DC, in the USA. This summer I am looking to spend a week
by myself doing community service in the Middle East. I read about
the good work your program has been doing, and I would love to help
out. It would be great if you could tell me more about your program,
the work you do, and if I could help out this summer.
Thanks so much,
Kira |
