“Implementing Pre-Texts methodology in university contexts was a privilege and a challenge. In today’s world, where content is so easily accessible, I believe that it is not only essential to reinforce skills such as critical thinking, questioning others, creativity and written and oral expression, but also to generate spaces that break the paradigms of traditional teaching, such as hierarchies and traditional moments in a class. Art was definitely a driving force that empowered the students and allowed us, among all of us, to access the learning and the contribution that each participant generated from the emotional to the cognitive and social”
