Mobility opportunities
Thinking through concepts such as social space, symbolic power, intervention, and performance, this seminar explores spaces reserved for literature and its writers. Students will gain knowledge of the various components of staging a (non-)literary event or festival while also learning to assess the cultural, political, and social value of these types of events. As part of the seminar, students will organize and participate in a book festival.

This seminar is linked to the Aurora Hub “Culture: Diversities and Identities”. It is open to Aurora students and will discuss events and texts that address the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: 10: Reduced Inequalities; 13: Climate Action; 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.

This class will allow students to improve their Creative Thinking, Teamwork, and Written and Oral Communication competences.
