The University of Cape Town hosted the Pre-Texts Protocol Workshop “A Contemplative Pedagogy for the Humanities in the Age of AI” during its International Teaching and Learning Conference on 17 November 2025. Led by Dr. Mara Boccaccio (Italian Section) and Dr. Katia de la Kruz (Spanish Section), both trained facilitators, the session introduced participants to a method that places creativity and critical thought at the core of education.
The workshop invited educators to explore how aesthetic engagement can strengthen cognitive flexibility and emotional wellbeing. By transforming literature into art, Pre-Texts reaffirmed the Humanities’ role in shaping responsible and imaginative approaches to technology within a growing African network of innovative educators.
