Conference International Culture for Kids

26 October 2018

https://dutchculture.nl/nl/events/international-culture-kids

The Netherlands is known as an international front runner in the creation of arts and culture specifically for children. Children’s Books by Annie M.G. Schmidt, Tonke Dragt and Dick Bruna for instance have been and continue to be translated worldwide. Apps like A Distant Journey, based on work by Toon Tellegen, and Puzzling Poetry received international critical acclaim.

Can we recognize specific characteristics of Dutch arts and culture for kids for instance in literature, museums, stage art, film and applied gaming? What lies at the heart of the international success of these products and activities? Which lessons can we learn from this?
