On Saturday, 12th of February, in the National Library “Radosav Ljumović”, there will be organised a Bibliotherapy – a workshop with children that encourages growth and development. Bibliotherapy is a method that began to be used in the world during the 20th century. Reading leads to personal growth, development, knowledge about oneself, others, changes in behavior and attitudes, relief from stress, emotional expression, strengthening self-confidence …

The workshop will be held at the Children’s Department from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Bibliotherapy is intended for children aged 10 to 14, and application is not required for participation.

The participants will be interviewed by Tamar Milić, MA, psychologist, and the workshop program includes: 1) reading a short text that is thematically selected according to age and the phenomenon being processed (fears, tolerance); 2) short text analysis; 3) encouraging participants to express their experience of the text, offer a constructive solution and alternative stories. In that way, the book gained a cathartic function and role during the formation of acceptable attitudes.
