LIACOM researcher Fernanda Bonacho organized the book “World Reading Academy – Journalism, Communication and the Self”, which brings together the results of the project “World Reading Academy – Journalism, Communication and the Self”, whose team proposed following an experimental methodology and testing an intervention in the school community that invited young students to make a critical reading of the world through journalism.

The book launch will be next Friday, April 4th, at 3 pm, at the Vítor Macieira Auditorium, at ESCS-IPL.

The research project that gave rise to the book took place between 2019 and 2022 and was funded by the Gulbenkian Knowledge Academy Program of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
