Outcomes

After this session, participants will be able to replicate a student-driven literary project that integrates augmented reality with regional culture. They will learn strategies for combining literature, digital tools, and cultural context to foster creativity, empathy, and global collaboration among students in their own schools.

During the presentation, attendees will be able to observe how students led every stage: poem selection, contextual analysis, video production, AR integration, and collaborative presentation. Teachers will access a step-by-step website that documents the entire process, offering tutorials and templates for easy replication in other schools worldwide.
