📚📚Οn the occasion of the publication of her latest book "A minute before my funeral", writer Stella Teneketzi spoke to Reading Greece about the transformative power of #literature and #language as the most powerful communication code.

"Literature, when it wants to, can function as a crack in normality – a space where words escape the “should” and create the “might”. When we write differently, we begin to imagine differently; and that in itself is a transformation. This is how new languages are born: first, to speak to the deepest part of ourselves, then to connect with the world we want, so that in the process our new world can converse with the old. It is worth saying here that these new languages are of course not only made of words".

Award-winning children's #writer and founder of the non-profit organization "Planet Agents", Eleni Andreadis, spoke to Reading Greece about #literature as a means to raise environmental awareness among children and young people, and the challenges of implementing school curricula that help form environmentally conscious students.

"Yes, I believe literature is a really powerful tool that can nurture environmental awareness in children. Stories speak directly to the imagination, the heart, and the values of a child. They don’t just convey facts — they create emotional connections. When a child reads about a forest in danger or a sea creature trying to protect its home, they start to care. They begin to see themselves not as bystanders, but as part of the story.
Literature invites children to feel, to question, and to dream. It helps them explore complex issues —like climate change, biodiversity loss, or pollution— in a way that’s accessible and engaging. Through characters, adventures, and even humor, children absorb values of respect, empathy, and responsibility toward the planet.
And most importantly, stories help children imagine solutions. They offer hope. And in the face of such enormous environmental challenges, hope is not a luxury — it’s essential. It gives children the courage to act and the belief that their choices matter".
