Children’s literature is a world of stories and characters that can open new paths, challenge stereotypes, and deconstruct them to combat all forms of discrimination.
Intersectionality and Children’s Literature
The Zoom Out project’s awareness campaign, featuring illustrations by visual artist Cristina Zafra, highlights the main forms of discrimination and how to counteract them. The characters created for the campaign play, interact, and engage with each other, deconstructing the main stereotypes present in society. The goal of the campaign is to promote critical thinking and awareness through stories and protagonists from children’s literature.
“Books are seeds that create new worlds and challenge prejudices.”
The Zoom Out awareness campaign will be available in six different languages:
- Italian
- English
- Polish
- Croatian
- Catalan
- Spanish
You can download the illustrations, print them, gift them, or hang them in schools, at home, or in any space you prefer!
The illustrations are printable in 70×100 cm format, the size of an illustrated poster.
The Zoom Out Project
Zoom Out is a project that examines themes in children’s literature from an intersectional perspective. Through the active participation of primary school students and teachers in developing new educational resources, Zoom Out promotes critical thinking and awareness. The project is funded by Erasmus+ and involves 10 partners from Catalonia (Spain), Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Poland.
