Since early age I have an interest to teach and develop teaching methods to help friends in their learning processes.

Story Project

This is an Amazing project developed at the Children’s Creativity Museum: “Creativity Stories“

A documentation of children’s creations through visual story-telling.

How many stories I have heard through these years working with children that I had to keep on my mind or enjoy just at the moment that they flourished.

I really wish I could have recorded them in such a way. But time limitations and sometimes resources never allowed me to do so.

But here is the idea, recorded for other people to see and for myself to remember.

I hope you enjoy this project as I did.
