The project "Poetry in Good Company" is promoting reading among children in Tavira, combining poetry sessions with interaction with dogs. The initiative is aimed at children aged 9 to 13, seeking to encourage them to read in a relaxed and fun way.
The project's concept is based on the company of dogs during reading activities, creating a more welcoming and less intimidating environment for children. This approach aims to demystify reading and make it a more attractive experience for the young participants.
The project is taking place in Tavira and is promoted with the aim of fostering a love of reading in an age group where many children begin to drift away from books. The combination of animals and literature aims to capture attention and maintain the interest of the participants.
The content was published by the Barlavento newspaper, which highlighted the innovative nature of this initiative that brings together literature and animal-assisted therapy in the same educational context.
