The structure of IMCLMC is based on the specialisms of the five partners:

University of Glasgow: historical, theoretical and critical perspectives on children’s literature; texts for diversity

Aarhus University: history of childhood and children’s literature, children’s media and reading habits

University of Tilburg: children’s literature and other cultural artefacts; life writing in children’s literature

Autonomous University of Barcelona: children’s literature theory, digital literacy, children’s books in the curriculum and reading promotion in professional contexts such as libraries

University of Wroclaw: children’s film, film education, representations of childhood and youth in film, and childhood in participatory culture

We are committed to providing students with a truly rewarding IMCLMC experience!

Here is the feedback from some of the students that followed the University of Wrocław pathway in 2020/2021:

“It was the 'Film and Participatory’ track in Wroclaw that drew me to apply to the CLMC program in the first place. I didn’t know it was possible to learn so much and engage in the range of stimulating discussions that we did, in such a short time. Whether it was generational nostalgia in geek culture, trauma and childhood in films from an array of cultural contexts, professors Agata, Justyna and Mateusz’s holistic approach to navigate us through children’s film and culture was thoroughly fulfilling. Dr. Agata’s support and counsel as my dissertation supervisor was invaluable in shaping my work into successful, meaningful research.” (Hubbiah)

“Even though we could not have classes face to face I enjoyed greatly Justyna’s, Agata’s and Mateusz’s enthusiastic classes on children’s film, children representation on film and media participation. I explored critically complex and thought-provoking themes and topics such as children in war and children and mediatic toxicity, as well as contemplate the Polish children’s film panorama, and participated in interesting discussions between my classmates from CLMC and the Polish students. Wroclaw is a truly beautiful city that I enjoyed very much but it was unfortunate that I could not travel around Poland due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” (MJ)

“Attending the digital classes at the University of Wrocław was always deeply engaging; the topics discussed were wonderfully diverse, which meant there were countless fascinating opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts to texts. Introductions to the historical and cultural context of Poland provided a rich background to the discussions and the classes, and the professors were always kind, enthusiastic, and interested in creative ways to challenge students.” (Emilie)

„As a film enthusiast, I have enjoyed the University of Wroclaw track with its main three courses covering a wide range of childhood, media and film studies intersections. I appreciate the fact that we, students, have been encouraged to freely navigate and analyse specific subjects and films with the guidance from our professors and to present the film discussions to our classmates. The classroom’s conversations were rich and eye-opening and I have really enjoyed how our assignments were designed to balance academic and practical experiences out.” (Rawan)
