In addition to the necessity to increase students' interest in books as such and in their content, we purposefully organized events close to them, aimed at increasing students' interest in reading. 1. By implementing the project, we wanted to improve the benefits of reading for students: - expansion of the famous stock, - obtaining new information, - improving the mental well-being of the reader, - improving reading technique, - improving concentration and attention, - stress reduction, - development of students' creativity and imagination, - improvement of interpersonal relations. 2. Expanding knowledge about foreign literature is one of the basic elements contributing to building a positive perception of international project partners. One of the goals of the project was to provide students with knowledge about the most famous literary works and authors of the partner countries. 3. In the project, we placed great emphasis on the well-being of students based on reading books - the goal was to create an environment for students in which they will feel comfortable while reading books/comics/magazines and this environment will motivate and encourage them to further reading activities.
We have noticed for a long time that young people are losing interest in reading books and have replaced them with smart devices such as mobile phones or tablets. The creation of this project was therefore a response to the need to motivate pupils to read books, magazines, comics and other printed text. We responded to the needs of the present, in which young people live. We noticed that the interest in art, culture and literature, which is a part of it, has been absent for a long time among young people. Our main goal was to create an educational project focused mainly on "INCREASING THE RATE OF BOOK READING, TRANSFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES and MOTIVATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO READ." Last but not least, with this project we wanted to lead our students to read more and to be more actively involved in cultural events, to be able to discuss with each other on assigned topics, to be able to express their opinion/attitude and, last but not least, to strengthen their self-confidence. Arousing young people's interest in reading books is a suitable tool to cover all these needs.
