Spearheaded under the auspices of the Moldovan Ministry of Culture, the nationwide initiative aims to connect authors with local communities and foster lifelong reading habits.

**Fostering youth literacy through engagement**

Among the attendees was a group of students from the Alliance Française summer camp in Chisinau. The visit formed part of the camp’s broader educational curriculum designed to boost creativity and cultural awareness.

*"For me, this is a valuable chance to meet native writers,"* said Dumitrița Bicherschi, a teacher at Alliance Française. *"For the children, meeting authors face-to-face directly inspires their passion for reading and personal culture."*

During the interactive session, Iulian Filip engaged the audience by reciting poetry alongside the students and answering their questions. To encourage active participation, the writer awarded mini-books to the most curious young readers.

**A nationwide cultural effort**

Vitalie Răileanu, Director of the *"Onisifor Ghibu"* Library, emphasized the strategic purpose of these public encounters. *"The goal is to show young people that spending time around books shapes who they become,"* Răileanu stated.

The *"Writer at Home"* campaign continues throughout the year across all districts of the Republic of Moldova, bringing authors of different generations directly to regional public libraries.
