The project focuses on developing a

• Critical pedagogy that prioritizes

by

• organizing educational activities that turn participatory/social-media assisted writing into participatory politics,
• carrying out weekly visits to Greek Primary and Secondary Schools.
• creating the opportunities to study recent writings of Anglophone writers, poets, activists

These educational activities are conceptualized in the framework of the “Skills Workshops” [Εργαστήρια Δεξιοτήτων] implemented in Primary and Secondary Education by the Greek Ministry of Education. As part of the English language courses, different kinds of literary texts (young adult literature and poetry) are used to strengthen learners’ skills in critical thinking, social awareness and literary writing.

The use of questionnaires assesses the changes in the collective behavior of the target learner-group in the school community and mediated via social media platforms.
