25 reading promotion and literacy organisations from 22 European countries convened at the 4th Annual General Meeting of EURead from October 17-19, 2018 at the Scotland House in Brussels. In keeping with the motto “Public vs. Private? Models of Funding for Reading and Literacy in Europe”, EURead members discussed the opportunities of funding in the field of education together with participants from publishing houses, companies and politics. The aim is to develop future strategies for the promotion of reading and literacy.
