Listen carefully, we tell you stories!
This Wednesday, May 24 will take place the 6e Swiss Reading Aloud Day. With a plethora of animations to boot, the opportunity to devour the books orally.
In 2022, actress and former Swiss Miss Lauriane Gilliéron read to children at the Pully library.

Remember. The voice fills the space. It envelops you even more firmly than the sheets. You know the words to come. They reassure while keeping their mystery. The features of your face marry the intonations of the reader, your lips anticipate the dialogues. Here you are with Goldilocks, the bears should forgive you the intrusion unless… But your eyelids are growing heavy, and the light may well be extinguished.
No audio cassette, no CD, no podcast can replace the familiar grit that comes physically, a few centimeters away, to silt up the eyes of the child ready to fall asleep. Listening to the evening tale will be the object of an indescribable nostalgia for the adult having known this ritual, small. To reactivate it, he will have to take refuge in dark rooms, attend public readings or, who knows, whisper his favorite pages to the loved one in bed.
One of the ambassadors of the 2023 edition, the journalist Philippe Revaz (picked here at BD-FIL), will leave his skylight to carry his voice in a school in Vésenaz.

This Wednesday, May 24, the whole of Switzerland devotes for the sixth time since 2018 the happiness of the text shared orally. Throughout the country, more than 300 events will celebrate the triangular marriage of writing, larynx and eardrum without technical support – around 80 on this side of the Sarine. In libraries, bookstores, museums, schools or parks, 32 ambassadors of this read aloud day will feature stories in multiple languages for listeners of all ages.
Among the sponsors, politicians (Alain Berset himself), athletes (notably Didier Cuche), singers (Gaëtan for example), actors (Brigitte Rosset or Anna Pieri) or media professionals (including Philippe Revaz), with an emphasis this year on male and paternal participation to this great democratic celebration of reading together.
Host Jean-Marc Richard is a loyal subscriber to Reading Aloud Days – after Pully in 2022, he will be at La Neuveville this year.

This exercise of reading together obviously supposes two camps: that of the voice and that of the ear. There are, however, many defectors who alternately dispute the privilege of speaking or hearing. Also the instigators of the day, the Swiss Youth and Media Institute (ISJM), do not impose the passive role on the individual. Anyone wishing to propose their own reading event canto inscribe at the event site. Whether he is addressing his family circle or embarking on his class, his club or his company, all participants – there are already 5,700 nationally – will be selected for a draw with book gifts.
The same site presents a carte interactive detailing the events planned in each region. In Geneva, appointments will be given almost continuously in four municipal libraries as well as those of Carouge and Lancy, a session will take place at Mamco and a mythological cycle will be accessible at the MAH. Of these sixteen free proposals, there is still a focus on Italo Calvino at the Maison Rousseau et Littérature, fragments in Portuguese and a literary cruise at the Villa Bernasconi.
