Camilla Kaj presents her work The Manifesto – an inspiring story for children aged 10-12 about friendship, diversity, and feminism. The book follows Nora and Nour, best friends, whose relationship is challenged when their football coach proves to be sexist and boundary-breaking. While Nora remains silent, Nour takes up the fight and shares her manifesto on social media.
During the event, Camilla will read from the book, discuss its messages, and invite the children to participate in conversations about identity, discrimination, and belonging. She brings her illustrations, which the children can colour – an activity that encourages creativity and reflection. Coffee and water are served throughout the day.
About the author: Camilla Kaj is a cultural sociologist and author with 11 years of experience in children's culture and cultural encounters. She has created a book series with Nour and Nora (ages 5-12) based on the desire for children to explore identity, cultural communities, discrimination, and the right to belong through storytelling, dialogue, and artistic exercises.
