Bibliodiversity: Let’s celebrate and take action!

Babelica is an invitation to discover more about our world, a world that is open and free, and where we demonstrate solidarity. The 2025 edition of Babelica was dedicated to the memory of Samia Zennadi (Apic éditions, Algeria) and Jean Richard (éditions d’en bas, Switzerland), who left us far too soon.

Programme
