The 1st UMI4AA WORKSHOP
The first UMI4AA workshop will be a book talk featuring two works centered on children's rights.
We invite you to join us for an engaging discussion! 

I am an upside-down tree (Je suis un arbre à l'envers) and
This Is a Record of the Lost Children.

These books brought these authors, once strangers, together. 
Now, UMI4AA hopes to extend this connection to a wider audience as we explore them.
