Vancouver International Summer School in Children’s Literature

This FREE event features a variety of panels, academic and writer’s talks, and other opportunities to learn about children’s literature.

As part of the Erasmus Mundus International Master in Children’s Literature, Media and Culture, the Master of Arts in Children’s Literature program at the UBC iSchool (MACL) offers the Vancouver International Summer School in Children’s Literature, a non-credit, graduate-level summer school.
