READ ON is a four year project bringing together seven organisations in six countries working in six languages, funded by the EU Creative Europe programme which ran from 2017 – 2021.
The READ ON project was designed to get young people reading, writing, illustrating, creating graphic novels, interviewing authors, offering their own spin on their favourite book, and curating events at literature festivals, both in their own country and across Europe.

One of the lasting legacies of the project is a a practical guide created for teachers, youth workers, festivals, creative writing tutors which you can read by clicking here.

Two of our young people interviewed the author Louise O’Neill as part of our Birmingham Lit Fest Presents… podcast which made up our digital festival in 2021. To listen to it you can click here.
