🌟International Book Review Exchange Project - 2024🌟

We are thrilled to introduce an exciting new initiative for students to explore, learn, and share their favorite books and authors with peers around the globe: the International Book Review Exchange Project. This project aims to connect students worldwide through their love of books, allowing them to experience diverse reading cultures and fostering a wonderful environment for book recommendations!

 📖 Project Overview

The International Book Review Exchange Project enables schools to collaborate with partner schools, where students write book reviews on their favorite books and authors. They can also choose native books and authors for this project. These book reviews are then exchanged with students from partner schools, creating a true exchange of literary knowledge during International School Library Month. Facilitators from both schools will ensure active participation and exchange, providing a rich, global learning experience.
