The President of the Powszechnego Czytania Foundation took the floor in the debate "Przyszłość literatury / Future of Literature". Previously, Gabriela Bar, Jakub Skurtys, Roman Wojciechowski and Beata Stasińsk have spoken out on this topic. The discussion accompanies the 30th anniversary of the TransPort Literacki festival.
We invite everyone interested in the future of reading and the promotion of reading to read it.
"I believe we have an influence on what the future of Poland's reading landscape will look like. Of course, it would be nonsense to suggest that this landscape can be completely planned, but making efforts to shape the future is not.
