PROJECT CONCEPT

“Reading makes a man perfect” goes an old saying. Over the years, it is believed that avid readers tend to have a better grasp on realities and are known to be better judges of people. But, with the technology boom, there have been concerns, in many quarters, about a setback in the declining rate of reading habits of today’s generation.

Through reading, it is believed that humans have the tools to transmit knowledge to each succeeding generation, just as it also allows one to listen to the wisdom and people of the ages.

BOOK ALIVE INITIATIVE is a project which aims at informing the young generations of the essence of reading and raising awareness, and garnering support from stakeholders and interested partners on the cause.

Organising this project around secondary schools, is therefore a square peg in a square hole, because we will be making maximum impact, as this generation will influence their younger ones and thus catching them young.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The habit of book reading seems to have lost a significant importance with the emergence of globalisation, especially with the emergence of the internet revolution in information technology (IT), enhanced coverage by TV channels and blurring of traditional media. These variables seem to have weakened the bond between books and readers, and this, critics say, have declined the habit of book reading especially among the younger generation.

The project aims to raise awareness and provide solutions to the dying reading culture amongst students and young people and helping them in pursing their dreams in a right way with the tools of education
