De Jonge Jury (The Young Jury)

De Jonge Jury is a reading promotion project for students aged 12-16. The aim is that these students develop a meaning about books. This project sits perfectly alongside other reading promotion projects such as de Nederlandse Kinderjury (the Dutch Children-jury) and de Inktaap (the Inkmonkey).

From August until February the students read the most recent books for young people and vote for their favourites. The voting takes place individually and at school. The five books with the most votes are nominated for the award of the Jonge Jury. The award will be given at the Day of the Young Jury in April.

This Stichting Lezen project is organised by BulkBoek and sponsored by Coca-Cola.

This project is run by Stichting Lezen, Netherlands (Netherlands)
