About this event

PageTurners invites young people to a Youth Reading Hackathon on 19 September 2026, from 10:00 to 14:00 at Krakowska 13 in Tarnów.

The hackathon is a fast, collaborative event in which teams identify a real reading challenge and develop a simple solution. Participants may create a reading routine, a visual tool, a mini-game, a campaign idea or an activity that helps others read with greater concentration and understanding.

Teams will use inspiration from the PageTurners Booklet of Good Practices, the PageTurners Training Course and the PageTurners e-learning platform. Facilitators will support research, prototyping and testing.

No technical experience is required. Curiosity, teamwork and willingness to experiment are enough.

Participation is free, but places are limited.
