Parchim is transformed into a reading mecca: big literary days in November!

Parchim's commitment to promoting reading
The educational landscape in Parchim is dedicated to the topic of reading. Educational institutions implement creative reading projects, organize library visits and reading nights to promote reading fun. This is in line with the goals of the Federal Association for the Promotion of Reading, which is committed to ensuring that children and young people develop the joy of reading. Because good reading ability is not only essential for school, but also for your future career. According to the association, 1 in 4 children have difficulty reading, an issue that should receive increased attention, especially for those children who do not receive support at home.
This makes the commitment of the Parchimers, who promote reading on a broad basis with “Parchim reads” and similar initiatives, all the more remarkable. The success of these actions depends on the cooperation of many actors and highlights the important role that each individual plays.
