Pre-Texts at the University of Glasgow

Cultural Agents

In June 2025, the BACH Center introduced the Pre-Texts protocol to the University of Glasgow, with facilitation by Valeria Pica, as part of a collaborative inquiry into medical humanities. Colleagues from universities across the United Kingdom expressed strong interest in Pre-Texts as a non-pharmaceutical intervention that strengthens literacy while supporting emotional well-being.

The two-hour session included theoretical foundations of the method, shared early findings on affective and cognitive outcomes, and guided attendees through interactive activities. Using a Mentimeter-based tool, participants reported increased calm, focus, and balance—evidence that Pre-Texts may offer meaningful application across education and healthcare contexts.
