Describe the challenge you want to address:
My idea is aimed at a group of young people who want to overcome their English and social limitations. In my experience it has been difficult to understand the language as well as make friends that help you improve and practice it, so a good way to overcome that barrier is with the existence of reading clubs where one can learn the language as well as create friendships in the process.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Generally, reading clubs are designed for people with advanced English, so it is difficult to find one where you can just practice, regardless of your level of English. If there was a club that helped overcome this barrier, it would not only be helping people improve with English but it would also be creating a network of reading community and possible friends among the same community.
