On Boy's Day, we invite you to a conversation at Big Book Cafe and Czwórka Polskie Radia about whether and why boys read less than girls. What influences this and what results from this trend? And if they do read, what books? Who writes for them and about what? Authors, readers and specialists will debate.
The following people will take part in the conversation:
MARIA DESKUR from the Universal Reading Foundation, who will talk about what, how much and how boys in Poland read and how it is changing
TOMASZ GARDZIŃSKI, journalist, expert and enthusiast of pop culture, including comics, which are very popular among boys.
MARCIN PERFUŃSKI, author of the SuperTata profile, who will talk about his favorite books from growing up and whether it is possible to infect a child with the love of reading
