Activities for Promoting Books and Reading in the Spirit of European Values

Abstract

The Scientific Library of the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova (SL of ASEM) aligns its activities and initiatives with the objectives set forth in the National Development Strategy “European Moldova 2030”. In this context, the library is actively involved in organizing and conducting a series of events and campaigns dedicated to promoting European values and initiatives in the Republic of Moldova, with a particular focus on students. The primary goal of these initiatives is to raise awareness and promote, through books and reading, a range of current and significant topics that are relevant to both Moldovan society and the academic community. These topics include globalization, European integration, economic resilience, climate change, green energy, and sustainable development. Additionally, the library addresses essential matters for the academic community, such as cultural diversity, multilingualism, the European linguistic landscape, intercultural education and training, intercultural competence and communication, and intercultural dialogue. Through the combined efforts of the SL ASEM and various faculties and departments of ASEM as well as NCC, the library makes a significant contribution to fostering the reading culture among young people. It aims to facilitate access to knowledge, raise students' awareness of cultural diversity, and develop their intercultural competence and reading skills. Furthermore, these activities seek to enrich students' vocabulary and promote reading and books among the young people who are passionate about learning.
