German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser to Patronize National Reading Day
Berlin, November 14, 2024 – Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser has agreed to patronize the 18th National Reading Day on November 18. The goal of this year’s event is to promote reading skills among children and young people in Germany.
“Reading is the key to education, participation, and personal development,” said Faeser. “As Minister of the Interior, I am committed to fostering literacy and language skills in our society. That’s why I am delighted to be the patron of this year’s National Reading Day.”
On November 18, Faeser will visit a kindergarten in Berlin’s Neukölln district to read a story to the children. The reading session will be part of a larger program of events at the kindergarten, which will include storytelling, puppet shows, and other activities designed to encourage children’s love of reading.
“I am very much looking forward to visiting the children at the kindergarten and reading them a story,” said Faeser. “I hope that my visit will inspire them to discover the joy of reading and to become lifelong learners.”
National Reading Day is a nationwide initiative that aims to promote reading and literacy among children and young people in Germany. The event is organized by the German Reading Foundation (Stiftung Lesen), which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
In addition to Faeser’s patronage, National Reading Day will also feature the participation of numerous other prominent figures from politics, culture, and society. These include German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who will read a story on television, and actor Ulrich Tukur, who will read a story on the radio.
“We are delighted that Minister Faeser has agreed to be the patron of this year’s National Reading Day,” said Jörg F. Maas, Managing Director of the German Reading Foundation. “Her commitment to literacy and language skills sends a strong signal to our society and shows that reading is a top priority for the German government.”
