The European project Identity and Diversity Picture Book Collection (IDPBC) strives to empower children from disadvantaged backgrounds to see themselves in the curriculum, enable all children to function within diverse / multicultural educational environments, and prepare teachers to teach diverse learners.

The 2nd IDPBC partner meeting has taken place in Castelo Branco, Portugal, on the 23rd and 24th of June, at the premises of Castelo Branco Polytechnic Institute.

"Pictures themselves can teach... if a picture is present in a book it is hard to disregard" said Perry Nodelman in 1988 in his book "Words about Pictures".

INNOVADE in collaboration with DDG, UPIT, DOUKAS, CARDET and IPCB have initiated the project “Identity and Diversity Picture Book Collections” (IDPBC)..
