New Nordic report: Government initiatives to promote reading and interest in reading among children and young people in the Nordic region Children's and young people's reading is a prioritized cultural and educational policy issue in the Nordic countries and in the Nordic cultural policy co-operation programme. The aim of national initiatives to promote reading is to increase literacy, strengthen the interest in reading and make literature a natural part of children's and young people's everyday lives. A strong reading culture is considered to provide better opportunities for education, culture and participation in democratic dialogue. In this policy brief, Kulturanalys Norden presents a compilation of current government reading promotion initiatives for children and young people in the Nordic countries and the autonomous regions. The report is produced by Kulturanalys Norden. Kulturanalys Norden is a Nordic knowledge centre for cultural policy established on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
