With the letters, beyond the book and the classroom: The Reading in Rafael Barrett’s historical-literary-touristic-cultural route Project

Abstract

The Project Reading in the Rafael Barret’s Historical-Literary-Tourist and Cultural Route, is an innovative initiative of the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Paraguay that, based on the life and work of the spanish writer Rafael Barrett (1876-1910), develops a route didactic literature. This resource, linked to Project-Based Learning and Integrated Learning, constitutes an innovative initiative in Paraguay, which relates literature and territory, to generate significant learning in students of Basic School Education and Secondary Education, about citizenship, communities in those who live, the cultural resources available to them, and the appreciation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. In the first year of execution, the project largely achieved the originally proposed objectives, both in pedagogical terms and in the generation of alliances with strategic extra-educational actors for its consolidation.
