BuchBesuch
With the project BuchBesuch Baobab Books strengthens global learning and motivates children to read: a reading animator visits the class for two lessons. She playfully opens a window towards unknown worlds and enables a discussion about cultural diversity, differences and commonalities. The book stays in the class as a gift.

A story written by life
During one week, primary school children work on a book under artistic direction at the end of their school time together. In the process, they depict the world in which they live and show in close-ups what is important to them. At the end, the collages and texts come together to form one whole book.
We successfully realised the project week for the first time with a primary school class in Basel at the end of June 2022. A project report will follow.
