A project organized by Babel School+Liceu within the TM2023 European Capital of Culture program, StorySeed will take place during October 5-8 in Timișoara and will bring together children, teachers, pedagogues and artists from 11 European countries. From 2018 until now, year by year, Babel has brought the seeds of Experiential Learning to Timișoara and Romania during SEED (The European Week of Democratic Education). In 2023, StorySeed will share with Timișoara and the national community both the joy of Experiential Learning and our enthusiasm for the Art of Storytelling as a way of human expressiveness and building communities. We believe that all children, in all schools in Romania, can flourish when supported to develop their own way of expression. In the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, Loris Malaguzzi talks about the hundred languages of children and how they slowly disappear during schooling years. Through StorySeed, we will celebrate the diversity of children's unique ways of expressing themselves and also the regional linguistic diversity in the Timișoara area. Experiential pedagogy and the art of storytelling will guide our steps in this regard.
