Description of activity:
Book chosen: ‘The
pickup’, Nadine Gordimer (the daughter of a rich white banker falls in love
with a black mechanic, an illegal immigrant to South Africa, and follows him to
his homeland where she finds purpose in her life although her husband only
wants to leave).
An expert educator
from Tecnopras (leader) together with a second educator from the NGO Sabine
Association for Migrants (co-leader) has coordinated the Read-aloud Club. The
co-leader, being more acquainted with the learners, supported the
familiarization of the group.
The Public Library
and the Parish supported the recruitment of learners and hosted the clubs. We
advertised the Club activity with posters in the notice boards of the Library,
of the Parish and of the adult evening school.
The educators
prepared a list of books on interculture and brought the books in the meeting
so to have a range of choices and the possibility to start immediately reading after
the choice of the book.
