Why put literature and knowledge in general at the centre of the educational discourse? On this question is built the challenge of the Festival con le ali, which assumes that at the basis of creativity lies precisely an in-depth knowledge of the world.

Registration is now open for the public events, which are open to all: it starts on Sunday 8 October at the TAN theatre in Biasca. Following this, there will be several meetings for the public on Wednesday 11 and Saturday 14 October.
Full programme available at the link: www.festivalconleali.ch/programma.

Registration for the events for schools, organised as part of the children's literature festival "con le ali", closed in just a few days: in October 106 classes registered and more than 2500 pupils and students from the Tre Valli, Bellinzona and Locarno regions will take part in the event.

The festival is conceived by Bibliomedia Svizzera italiana, Circolo cultura Biasca, Istituto Svizzero Media e ragazzi.

Numerous partners support the festival, from the Dipartimento dell'educazione della cultura e dello sport (DECS) to RSI Kids, and the Department of Education and Learning / University of Teacher Education (DFA/ASP) of SUPSI, whose students participate in the success of the event.
