Reading groups in Argentina

There are a number of Reading Groups across Argentina, all working with texts from the New Writing anthology published by the British Council. A Reading Group can be as simple as an informal gathering of a few friends or a facilitator-led academic discussion aimed at textual analysis.

What support does the British Council offer reading groups?

We offer the following support:

• Copies of New Writing for members of the reading group
• New Writing website, a companion and key to New Writing, providing guidance for facilitators
• Contact with Reading Groups in other countries. Please see the Encompass Culture website
• Promotion of the Reading Group through British Council newsletters and websites
