A reading space is a meeting place that is created to promote reading and conversations about experiences connected to reading. The texts that the participants work with are based on the needs and priorities of the people in the society.
Our goal is to create spaces for reading in the communities where we work. We create these reading spaces together with local actors and other allies. The goal is to be able to offer our participants and their families the opportunity for dialogue and reading.
Therefore, we work, among other things, to have a dialogue about the needs, interests and ambitions of our participants.
We also have discussions about knowledge, norms, traditions and culture to develop the participants' opportunities to actively participate in the communities in which they live and work.
Joint reading and discussion about literature
Writing workshops
Book loans
Promoting the use of digital resources
And above all, we promote reading together within the family because we believe that it is the most important space for the development of good reading habits.
FOCUS wants to offer women the opportunity to develop a basic literacy. FOCUS has a content that focuses on usability and meaningfulness and the technology enables more women to have the opportunity to educate themselves as they can study in places and times that suit their life situation.
We work to give our participants the opportunity to continue their education in the areas they want and need. By engaging national, regional and local actors, we create opportunities for further education for our participants.
