PEN World Voices Festival

A cross between literature and human activism, the PEN America World Voices Festival shines light on important issues in our society. For the first time, it's attracting a younger crowd thanks to the new Next Generation Now series, which includes a variety of exciting events. Little ones (pre-K–third grade) can head to Town Stages for a workshop and mini-march with the author of The Little Book of Little Activists at 3:30pm. At 7pm, the author of the bestseller Wonder, R.J. Palacio, will discuss the beauty of being different at Cooper Union. All ages.
