Asian Festival of Children’s Content

The Teachers and Parents track provides teachers, educators, and parents with the skills and knowledge to engage children and young adults with stories and books. AFCC programmes under this track focus on developing early literacy, imparting a love for reading and books, and supporting language and literacy development from early childhood (ages 1–6) to primary school levels (ages 7–12).

An AFCC Festival Pass gives you full access to these sessions and more!
