THE ADVENTURE OF READING
It’s a strategy for the development of capabilities of adults, like educators to promote reading, promote reading habits through creative approaches for the cultural dynamization, and to promote multilinguistic and cultural interaction. We are seeking to create an integral methodology that’s innovative, practical and transferable to any context and social realism, for the animation of reading through diverse activities: study and identification of good practices in the three countries, the experimentation with methods and activities during the execution of local initiatives, online tutorials and an exhaustive evaluation process of all of these measures. Two intellectual products will be prepared and disseminated, as a result of this process: a methodological guide for promotion of reading habits and animated reading; and a compilation of didactic and creative guides of selected readings: analysis and activities proposal for its dynamization. These guides can be useful for a number of collective professionals: professors and educators, cultural programmers and technicians, editors, booksellers, librarians, students, storytellers and oral narrators, and other interested persons... All of the products of the association will be multilinguistic and will be available on line using Creative Commons.
The entire project of the conviction of the importance of integrating four thematic axis that always work in an isolated way when speaking of animation of the reading: a) the importance of the tradition and oral narration; b) the need for updated and trained mediators; c) the importance of creating new (and unconventional) spaces / scenarios / methods for animating the reading through creative, artistic and participatory approaches; d) the needs to count on an ample, diverse and rich literary repertoire. Our challenge and mission is to articulate a methodology which satisfies all of these elements in a coherent, rigorous, integral, didactic way and, at the same time, is transferable and susceptible to introduction and use in any context of social and/or cultural reality.
For them, three European organization which work in the animation of reading/literature through different approaches (tradition and oral narration; theatre and resource creation; mediation for reading/literature animation) and with local and diverse realities and backgrounds (rural sphere, semiurban and urban) will share their knowledge and experiences with their respective local and transnational partners to create and test new approaches and innovative methods for the promotion of the habitual reader. All of this diversity and interdisciplinary support for the project will furnish it a positive richness.
