Argument: In a rapidly changing society, in which it is hard to keep pace with new
discoveries, it is very important not to give up some habits designed to enrich our
experience, particularly the soul, to assist us in our growth as humans . With the
collaboration of SC Exposib, the organizer of the event " Sibiu Bookfest 2011 - Book Fair
held on the occasion of the International Theatre Festival held in Sibiu, we took advantage
of the unique opportunity to bring together educators interested in guiding children towards
this usually so good yet so neglected habit in our days - reading.

The purpose of the symposium: defining the role of the book as an indispensable tool in
planning and conducting teaching process; promoting the importance of reading and the
role it plays in the child's personality development.

The symposium is open to all teachers concerned with achieving a quality education that is
based on effective communication, on promoting reading as a means of own personal
development, promoting the book's role in the development of human personality.

Objectives:
- To disseminate examples of good practice regarding the role of books in the educational
process;
- The development of interest in reading;
- To develop creativity and critical thinking;
- To develop institutional partnerships;
