To read enhances empathy. Those who read (non-)fiction see how characters develop and how they interact with others. It encourages you to think about what you read, which helps you remember better. Reading also stimulates you to make nuanced considerations and to think critically. This adds value to your own understanding, allowing you to grow in personal leadership and thereby in your actions. In short, reading expands your world.
The learning of reading and writing texts is a key part of our work. We organize storytelling meetings. We also think about them with teachers and participants. These activities form the foundation of our work.
