The Europe Challenge

As part of our Erasmus+ project BUDDIES – Connected Libraries & Communities, the Aarhus Public Libraries is organising a series of masterclasses along the themes of The Europe Challenge: Digital, Green, and Social.

In the Digital masterclass on 22 April (14:00-15:00 CET), you will have the chance to meet and chat with Stine Liv Johansen, researcher at Aarhus University.

Libraries as Third Places for Play and Literacy

This talk explores the library as a third place in young people’s lives and its role in supporting and guiding them in a media-rich everyday life. With a focus on young people’s use of digital and technological media, the presentation highlights libraries as important arenas for play, participation, and literacy, where learning and creativity unfold across physical and digital spaces.
