Readers’Development Symposium held
Ahasan, Dhaka 16 February 2019
Reading books is an essential habit to develop the minds and intelligence of young generations. In the current digital age, where visual media and interactive content command the interests of young children, reading habits have taken a backseat. To come up with interactive methods to make reading more desirable and revive reading habits in children, the British Council’s Cultural Centre recently hosted a Reader Development Symposium at its office in Dhaka University campus area. The symposium was a day-long event with more than 80 teacher participants from 30 institutions, who coordinate and implement the Book Reading program in their respective institutions.
