Books for Keeps offer: a free place at the IBBY UK 2025 Conference
Whose History? Challenging historical narratives through writing for children and young people.
What stories do we tell children about the past? From whose point of view are these stories told? Whose lives are considered to be important and are retrievable from the records? What are historical facts and who gets to interpret them?
This year’s IBBY UK conference (8 November, Open Ealing Arts Centre, London W5 2TD) will explore and interrogate these questions.
Speakers so far include Sandra Agard, Chris Haughton, Catherine Johnson, Bali Rai, Gita Ralleigh, Michael Rosen, and J.T. Williams.
