For centuries, Education has taught people to speak clearly, read thoughtfully and write rigorously. This is why educators are increasingly concerned with the low reading level of young people and, above all, with the obstacles to their discovering the pleasure of reading. The reading of the great works of literature and thought continues to offer a privileged access to the cultural tradition and a financial aid to meet these challenges. 

The Great Books Seminar methodology has more than a century of tradition and is a hallmark of some of the best educational centers in the world, both at teaching average and above. However, in our context educational they are still something new. Based on the reading of classical works (ancient and modern), they focus on dialogical commentary and the essay of argumentative essays to connect the texts with the great human questions. 

This course is theoretical and practical in nature. Its main objective goal is to teach the methodology so that participants can apply it on classroom. It consists of plenary sessions and sessions in groups of a maximum of 20 participants, where the methodology is applied to a book. 

Be part of the experience of the Great Books Program at the University of Navarra, where most of the professors come from, as well as similar initiatives at other universities. This second edition is organized by the Centro Humanismo Cívico del Institute for Culture and Society of the University of Navarra.

Academic direction of the course: Álvaro Sánchez-Ostiz and José María Torralba (University of Navarra).
