Concept

Having as an element of reference the chained operation of an assembly line, the authors participate in the various stages of the creation and production process of an illustrated album, bringing them closer to the literary world and promoting an effective and solid relationship with the mother tongue, the literary language, books and the writing, and providing them with artistic skills such as illustration, dramatisation or music and technical skills such as marketing or computing . Turning students into authors is a means with huge impact in connection to the book, especially when the final result is presented with enormous quality and the students see themselves in the expressed convictions, and whose playful and pedagogical components are balanced so that the desire to read is giant and irresistible. All the participants of Fábrica de Histórias follow the book’s path.

Thus, by convening the book production process and aligning this process with a wide range of organizational and experiential aspects of the community, the student/author relationship with the same book is strengthened. At Fábrica de Histórias, all those involved are, directly and indirectly, promoters of reading.

Prémio Ler+ (2021)

The pretext was the book Brincar a Sério (Playing Seriously), through it, we traverse the line of production of the Fabrica de Historias, a project in which children are authors. What happens here is that book authors are also its characters: they talk about themselves when they enumerate definitions of play, it’s up to your jokes that the illustrations depict. (…) Getting here is the wish of any reading promotion project.

Testimonies

Patrícia Costa, Colégio Atlântico

Participating in the Fábrica de Histórias was a truly challenging adventure, in which creativity, imagination and team spirit brought students of all valences together in an innovative and truly rewarding project.

Margarida Chambel, Pedro Arrupe College

A full auditorium for a book presentation – which tells the story, written from the creative reflection and shared by more than a hundred 5th graders, which is inspired by the motto that annually brings together the whole school – has proved to be the point of enthusiastic arrival of a journey carried out throughout a school year.

In this path of experiential learning, curiosity, creativity, effort, persistence, resilience and commitment are mobilized, students are challenged to reflect, give ideas, ponder alternatives and propose solutions, acquire skills, content and realize transversality of knowledge and expressions. Students learn. And they’re thrilled.

Joana Marto, Externato da Luz

The Fábrica de Histórias was for us the meaning that the very origin of the Latin word designates: a workshop where things are done and where we become artisans. It was the structure, the machine and the construction of a building with structures based on emotion and skills. It was the creator “place” where we thought, built and developed the raw material of our children, resulting in a happy product. Thank you, Cabeçudos!
