How Can You Change the World? - Sarah Welk

Sarah Welk, one of Germany’s most popular contemporary children’s authors, is coming to Hungary. Her books are read by hundreds of thousands of children and parents in Germany, and How Can You Change the World? is one of this year’s exciting new discoveries on the Hungarian children’s book market.

In How Can You Change the World?, Sarah Welk explains in an interactive and entertaining way, and in language accessible to children, what it means to live, think and grow up independently and freely in a democratic society. The book encourages young readers to form their own opinions, make their voices heard and take responsibility, while showing them how democracy works at home, at school and in society.

The Hungarian edition was adapted with the contribution of child-rights expert Dr Szilvia Gyurkó, helping young readers and their families receive accurate and relevant information about the Hungarian context and the functioning of the state.

Sarah Welk will discuss this unusual and thought-provoking book with Dr Szilvia Gyurkó, State Secretary for Child Rights and Child Protection, and political analyst Nóra Schultz. Together, they will explore how democracy works, how children can stand up for their interests, and what role they can play in shaping the future.

Participants:
Sarah Welk, author
Dr Szilvia Gyurkó, child-rights expert and State Secretary for Child Rights and Child Protection
Nóra Schultz, political analyst

With simultaneous interpretation in German and Hungarian.
