The Taiwan-France Cultural Workshop 2025, co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture (MOC) and the French Office in Taipei, will take place at the Taiwan Literature Hub and the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL) on Sept. 16 and 17.
Titled “Des Livres Plein Les Yeux,” meaning “books that catch your eyes,” this year’s workshop examines the global trend of children’s picture books in the digital age. It seeks to promote reading culture among young readers while providing valuable resources for picture book creators.
Taiwanese speakers include picture book researcher and creator Hsu Su-hsia (徐素霞); Grayhawk Agency senior children’s book copyright agent Kao Yu-ming (高郁茗); and Lin Zhong-long Children’s Literature Promotion Studio Executive Director Hsieh Hung-wen (謝鴻文). They will be joined by researchers and publishers from France.
Registration is open until Sept. 10. The forum on the first day welcomes children’s literature publishers, researchers, editors, critics, illustrators, and readers, with a capacity of 100 participants. On the second day, 20 selected illustrators will take part in workshops focused on picture book analysis.
