In Europe, we often hear bad news about Africa or Asia. But who would have guessed that Rwanda is the country with the highest number of women in parliament worldwide? Or that the oldest oil paintings on the globe were painted in Afghanistan. A lot can be reported about each and every country; everywhere on the world, humans accomplish great things. But still, some countries are depicted in a single-sided and negative light in school books and the media. Together with the authors Minitta Kandlbauer and Melanie Kandlbauer, we will embark on a journey to Syria and Turkey, to Nigeria and Somalia. In an interactive reading, they will present their children’s non-fiction book “Gute Nachrichten aus aller Welt” (Good News From All Over the World), illustrated by Yani Hamdy, published by Leykam in 2024.
