The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland committed to bringing books and children together. ==History== In 1952 Jella Lepman organized a meeting in Munich, Germany, called ''International Understanding through Children’s Books''. Many authors, publishers, teachers and philosophers of the time attended the meeting and as a result a committee was appointed to create the International Board on Books for Young People – IBBY. A year later in 1953, IBBY was registered as a non-profit organization in Zurich, Switzerland. The founding members included: Erich Kästner, Lisa Tetzner, Astrid Lindgren, Jo Tenfjord, Fritz Brunner, Bettina Hürlimann and Richard Bamberger. IBBY established an international award in 1956 and since then the Hans Christian Andersen Award has continued to be awarded every two years. IBBY has six key aims: * to promote international understanding through children's books * to give children everywhere the opportunity to have access to books with high literary and artistic standards * to encourage the publication and distribution of quality children's books, especially in developing countries * to provide support and training for those involved with children and children's literature * to stimulate research and scholarly works in the field of children's literature * to protect and uphold the Rights of the Child according to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Board on Books for Young People」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
