At The Social Eyes, children’s stories and youth literature are vital tools for nurturing imagination, resilience, and social awareness. Inspired by the energy and creativity of Montreal’s youth, these narratives provide young readers with characters and worlds that reflect their experiences, challenges, and hopes. By giving youth a platform to write, share, and engage with stories, The Social Eyes empowers them to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with others across communities. True to the mission of The Social Eyes, youth literature becomes both a mirror and a window: a way to understand oneself, to explore empathy, and to inspire positive change in society.
