LITERATURE AND STORIES IN ONE’S OWN LANGUAGE
In 2024, The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) was awarded the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) from Australia. The organization makes literature accessible to increase the desire and ability to read among children from Australia’s indigenous peoples. In its literacy promotion work, ILF emphasizes the importance of children being able to recognize themselves, their culture, and their language in the books they read. Lohkh munnjien/Loga munnje/Read for me aims to promote reading among children and young people in the Sami language area. The project is developed in collaboration with the Sami Parliament, the Association Read, the Center for Sami in Education, and municipalities around the country. In 2024, Loga munnje was awarded the Library of Congress Literacy Awards Program. Now, the award winners meet at the Norwegian Festival of Literature in Lillehammer! The conversation will be led by Johan Sandberg McGuinne.
