Professor Doris Sommer gave a training workshop on Pre-Texts at the University of Oviedo from March 11 to 15. The workshop was attended by faculty from the University of Oviedo and two representatives of the Women for Africa Foundation, who traveled from Nador (Morocco) to Oviedo to receive the training. The teaching staff belonged to the areas of English Philology, Spanish Literature, Educational Technology, Psychology, Didactics of Plastic Expression or History. The course was developed with the sponsorship of Banco Santander and will continue with a follow-up phase, given the enthusiasm of all participants to bring the Pre-Texts protocol to their classrooms.
