Language and Literature teachers willing to integrate Narrative Medicine, also known as Bibliotherapy, in their daily teaching
The goal of this presentation is to introduce participants to the emerging field of Narrative Medicine, also known as Bibliotherapy, and its relevance to literature education. We will explore how literature can enhance emotional intelligence and well-being, and examine practical ways to integrate this interdisciplinary approach into teaching. Through the analysis and discussion of selected texts, we will reflect on the pedagogical potential and healing power of narratives, indirectly leaning on Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL), and Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) as well.
