The Asian Festival of Children’s Content (AFCC) returns from 3 - 4 October 2020 in a new digital format, and celebrates the theme “Voyages”, where we invite participants to envision a world filled with possibilities even as we are facing many challenges and much uncertainty now. We aim to traverse boundaries, redefine narratives and discover new truths, as we embark on a digital journey of exploration to be immersed in a world of stories for children and young adults.
The choice is especially apt, as the Festival invites the participants to envision a world filled with possibilities in the digital space, even in the face of so many disruptions and uncertainty now.
AFCC aims to traverse boundaries, redefine narratives and discover new truths, as it seeks new avenues of sharing Asian stories for children and young adults.
Featuring more than 40 local and international speakers, including well-known writers like Mariko Nagai, Minh Lê, and Trevor Lai, illustrators such as Robert Alejandro, educators like Dr Junko Yokota and Rushton Hurley, as well as key figures in the media content and literary industry such as Dexter Ong, Head of Wattpad Studios (Asia) and Peter Florence, Director and Founder of the Hay Festival. The speakers will share about their experiences and efforts in responding to the pandemic.
