REMAP
Reading for Meaning and Purpose
In today's universities, there is great concern for the well-being of their students. Meaningful reading practices can help students find meaning and purpose in their lives, making them more resilient and supporting their emotional, social and civic needs.
The European Erasmus + project 'REMAP: Reading for Meaning and Purpose' (2024-2027), coordinated from the Center for Civic Humanism of the ICS of the University of Navarra, seeks to provide educational resources for university and high school teachers to engage in meaningful reading. This will allow a university Education that is not only focused on a professional and technical training , but that contributes to the promotion of intellectual concerns, and to the Education of the character of the university student.
Activities
REMAP will address students' needs by planning, developing, testing and evaluating (translating and publishing) innovative and inclusive resources for meaningful reading practices in higher education. Through these activities. the 4 universities involved, as well as the secondary education school together with 6 associate partners, advocate an awareness of social, civic, and emotional needs of emerging adults, and promote evidence-based meaningful reading practices at the university level.
REMAP will provide:
An open-access Meaningful Reading Manual with modules on conceptualisation, reading techniques and dialogical practices, student validated suggestions of texts.
A peer-mentor service-learning program provided by upper-level university students: Reading Mentors Program.
A validated cours on Meaningful Reading where students will acquire intellectual reading skills and passion for reading.
A validated Teacher Training Program for teachers and professors to offer general courses where meaningful reading is promoted.
