The Asian Festival of Children's Content (AFCC) returns for its 15th edition in-person from 23 - 26 May 2024, taking on the theme of "Curiosity".
Curiosity drives exploration, innovation and the imagination. It can open up possibilities, expand one's worldview and spur children to embark on a path of discovery. How can we nurture a child's curiosity through books and encourage them to explore the world around them? How can modern technologies be harnessed to cultivate children's curiosity and engagement in reading? In what ways can cultural diversity be shown in stories and works from Southeast Asia and Asia, that can shape children's curiosity and develop a sense of the self?
AFCC 2024 will feature The Philippines as the Country of Focus.
We look forward to seeing you again at AFCC in May 2024!
