Public Reading in Shared Spaces

Design a long-term, scalable program that activates non-traditional venues (shops, cafés, terraces, community shelters) for collective reading experiences. Analyze how such space-based literary engagement can influence social cohesion, intergenerational interaction, and access to culture. Outline governance, partnerships, curation, accessibility, and inclusive formats; propose metrics for participation, learning, and community well-being; anticipate potential challenges (logistics, inclusivity, safety) and propose practical mitigations.
