A project designed to promote reading and cultural exchange between high school students in Italy and Germany. Two experts on youth literature - Doris Breitmoder and Anna Becchi - present book pairs for high school students. The presented titles (novels, poems, graphic novels) introduce the real life of young people in Italy and Germany. They focus on history, but also touch on issues of the civil society and highlight both languages' potential.
Here are a few examples:
Book pairs for junior high students:
+ Silke Wolfrum, Marie Geissler: Wir sind Superhelden. Fast. (We are superheroes. Almost.)
and
Davide Call, Maurizio A. C. Quarello: Mio padre il grande pirata (My dad, the great pirate)
+ Arne Rautenberg, Nadia Budde: Kuddelmuddel Remmidemmi Schnickschnack. Gedichte für alle. (Kuddelmuddel Remmidemmi Schnickschnack. Poems for everyone.)
and
Chiara Carminati, Pia Valentinis: Viagga verso- poesie nelle tasche dei jeans. (Travel verse-poems in jeans pockets.)
Book pairs for senior highschool students:
+ Kirsten Boie: Dunkelnacht. (Dark night.)
and
Fabrizio Altieri: In viaggo con destino. (Travelling with destiny.)
+ Nora Krug: Heimat. Ein deutsches Familienalbum. (Home. A German family album.)
and
Gipi: S.
