The municipality of Novara is offering an online session on books and symbol boards for playing with stories on 26 October, from 5pm to 6.30pm. It is led by Anna Peiretti, who heads the Libri per Tutti project at Fondazione Paideia. Participation is free until places are filled, with registration required for the individual session. [1][2]
Paideia describes symbol books as a tool within Augmentative and Alternative Communication: pictures and other forms of communication can complement spoken language to widen opportunities to participate. The training also addresses teachers, librarians, parents and people working on inclusion. When this edition was prepared, the session was still scheduled: attendance figures and assessments of its effects were not available. [3][1]
The bright side
Free training offers people who read with others tools and approaches intended to make reading more accessible. [1][2][3]
One idea, in simple words
On 26 October, the municipality of Novara is offering an online session about books and symbol boards. It runs from 5pm to 6.30pm with Anna Peiretti from Fondazione Paideia. It is free, but booking is required and places are limited. Symbols are pictures that can help people communicate. They are part of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, which also uses tools beyond spoken words. Paideia explains that these tools aim to widen opportunities to participate. For example, imagine following a story by looking at words and pictures together: these are different ways to share meaning. The session also welcomes parents, teachers and librarians. It has yet to take place as we prepare the edition, so attendance and results are not known. [1][2][3]
