Highlights

Presentation of the Story Factory by BLIMUNDA

The pretext was the book Play Seriously, through it, we walked through the production line of the Story Factory, a project in which children are authors. What happens here is that agents of the book are also its characters: it is you who speak when they list definitions of play, it is their jokes that the illustrations take account. (…) Getting here is the desire of any reading promotion project.

Testimonies

Patricia Costa, Atlantic College

Participating in the Story Factory 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 the presentation of a book – 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, skills, content and realize transversality of knowledge and expressions. Students learn. And they’re thrilled.

Joana Marto, Externato da Luz

The History Factory 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, Big Heads!
