Students ages 8+ and their caregivers are invited to join author and editor Upasna Kakroo from Peerbagh in this special FREE 2-day workshop for young aspiring writers!

Learn new storytelling frameworks and explore world stories to spark your imagination! In this 2-day workshop, caregivers and children will create stories together and in groups as we write a little, spin a little yarn, paint, and even record an audio story! Participants will receive prompts, a story-writing blueprint, and a take-home toolkit to practice writing (or painting) their unique stories. As a bonus, kids and grown-ups will have a chance to submit a story to be published in the Bento children’s magazine.

No prior writing or storytelling experience is needed, just come curious!

ABOUT PEERBAGH

Peerbagh’s mission is to improve teacher, librarian, and parent skills and bring the lost art of storytelling into the classroom or teaching environment through art, creative writing, theater, cultural inquisitiveness, and oral storytelling.

We conduct South-Asia-inspired storytelling workshops, publish a children’s magazine, Bento, and create toolkits for educators and families. We create an inclusive space for ALL children, so they have a sense of belonging and build creative confidence.

We provide tools for families and educators so they will be empowered to be cultural change agents. Through these tools, we train educators and parents to introduce diverse perspectives and critical thinking in children.

We also support South-Asian and other global artists in these areas to revive or practice their art forms.

We work out of Austin, Ann Arbor, Montreal, Dehradun, and via Zoom screens everywhere.
