Margarita Hareva:

We learned about how you can attract children to literature, how to teach children’s minds to think outside the box, teach them not to be afraid of the stage and performances. As a future teacher, this information was very useful to me. After all, working with children is not easy, it requires special skills and efforts, knowledge of ways to make learning interesting and informative.

Ekaterina Yunikova:

As a person close to literary art, it was interesting for me to hear about how people realized their talent and acquired skills that help in writing. How they interest children and teach them such complex activities as writing. After seeing the colorful illustrations, I really want to read the books they wrote, watch the videos they shot and be sure to look into the book laboratory. It is possible that Valentina Degteva’s manual will help me not only to develop my writing skills, but also to find new applications for them.

Tatiana Dolya:

After such events, I want to create, write books, poems, illustrate them.

Sofia Efremova:

For me, this conference was very useful and interesting, as I was able to see people who are passionate about their work, give themselves completely to creativity in order to delight children with new works, new heroes.
