ended

REEPLAI aims at enhancing the reading habits of families with children and teenagers and to improve capacities to promote reading as a means for self-growth, interaction, dialogue and community activation in the partner countries - Ukraine, Portugal and Italy - through the promotion of innovative cultural practices related to reading and to the promotion of literature. For this to happen, the work plan includes 5 WPs that, under the umbrella of an effective project management plan, will foresee a phase of Content Design in which installations and activities will be imagined and designed based on literary works from the countries' literatures that will give birth to it; the implementation of new game installations' prototypes and literary quests, as well as the preparation of the inaugural events; finally, engagement and capacity-building activities will take place to establish a dialogue with a wide array of stakeholders and enable educators, teachers and cultural mediators to familiarise with REEPLAI’s activities. REEPLAI will mainly address families with their children and teenagers, devoting special attention to Ukrainian families temporarily residing in Obidos and Aosta Valley to stimulate inclusion, mutual understanding and knowledge sharing. In addition, it will operate to strengthen the capacities of school teachers, educators, cultural mediators and operators of the field who live in the surrounding areas. Alongside the creation of spaces and activities related to reading, REEPLAI intends to protect and promote cultural diversity, stimulate curiosity and the desire to learn. Additionally, it advocates the enlargement and expansion of its network in the long term, based on starting formats and models. In concrete terms, REEPLAI results in the creation of 2 Reading Parks with their game installations and the implementation of reading-related activities, e.g., literary quests based on the adaptation of 5 literary works from each of the partner’s literatures.
