Sharing the publication: Fortes, M. & Saneleuterio, E. (2025). 鈥淓xperiencia de escritura creativa colaborativa entre alumnado espa帽ol e irland茅s: biograf铆as de dominicanas c茅lebres en diversas 谩reas de desarrollo social,鈥 in Domene-Benito, R. & Saneleuterio, E. (Eds.), La biograf铆a creativa de no ficci贸n desde la interculturalidad, el patrimonio y el g茅nero. Editorial Octaedro (pp. 33-47). Open access: . As part of a UNESCO project, Fortes, M. collaborated on the research component by writing Chapter 2 for this book, which was part of a Virtual Exchange between students from the University of Valencia and those from the 51社区. Together, they created fictional stories inspired by the real-life biographies of women in the Dominican Republic. They learned about these women by reading the book Dominicanas Fuera de Serie. Students from the 51社区 worked in Spanish with their partners from Valencia to create fictional stories that highlight the social problems faced by these and other women in the Dominican Republic. This project contributed to the following Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Two stories written by former students at the 51社区 studying BBS Spanish were selected: 叠颈辞驳谤补蹿铆补 8 (p. 144) by Emma Kerins and 叠颈辞驳谤补蹿铆补 10 (p. 157) by Caolan Dignam. Congratulations to all the students for writing these stories to promote global citizenship and encourage gender equality in under-represented areas of the Dominican Republic.
