WORKSHOP TAUGHT AT CAMPUS ÍTACA, UNIVERSITAT AUTÒNOMA DE BARCELONA
Participating team members: E. Moore & M. Rosa Garrido
E. Moore and M. Rosa Garrido ran several two-hour “English language” workshops inspired by plurilingual didactics and Hip Hop pedagogies. The workshops aim to empower students’ plurilingual repertoires through language biography raps as opportunities for self expression and social critique.
Campus Itaca is a semi-formal programme at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona for students who are going into their final year of secondary education and who are categorised by their schools as not having an academic profile, and who might thus not continue their education into pre-university and university studies for an array of reasons. These include adolescent disaffection for schooling as well as coming from family backgrounds in which university studies might not be a realistic option (e.g. students whose parents and grandparents did not attend higher education, students for whom university is financially not viable). Campus Ítaca aims to stimulate these adolescents to continue to non-compulsory education, while also aiming to promote Catalan as a vehicle for group cohesion and social inclusion, since many of them come from non-Catalan dominant environments.
