Literature offer more than entertainment, it can also be a useful companion for our emotional and mental well-being. PhD candidate Tine Riis Andersen joins us for a talk about how literature can support our well-being with examples from shared reading.

Shared reading is a communal form of reading where one person leads the group through the text, with breaks making room for reflection and discussion on the text and the experience of reading.

Tine Riis Andersen is PhD candidate at the University of Stavanger and Trnava University in Slovakia. In her project, she is investigating the experience of reading groups (Shared Reading) for patiens as a creative activity with an indirect theraputic impact.
