In San Giorgio a Cremano the first festival dedicated to storytelling for children and young people in Villa Falanga, on 14 and 15 May 2022
“Ricomincio dalle Storie” will take place on May 14th and 15th in Villa Falanga (10am-21pm), the first festival dedicated to storytelling in all its forms, especially those dedicated to children.
Throughout the weekend, the villa, which is also home to the Laboratorio Città dei Bambini, will be populated by authors, presentations, performances and events dedicated to families, children, teachers and students.
On Saturday, May 14, at 12.30:XNUMX, Geronimo Stilton will also arrive, the famous comic book character who will speak to the little ones and tell the stories that have him as the protagonist. The theme of the first edition is "welcoming".
“Ricomincio dalle Storie” was born from the collaboration between the Naples Book Fair “Ricomincio dai Libri”, through the association La Bottega delle Parole and the Regional Laboratory City of Children and Girls of San Giorgio a Cremano.
The creative direction of the literary festival is entrusted to Viviana Hutter, Pedagogist, author, creative and storyteller of children's stories. Inventor of the "Active" method which later merged into the Scuola Gentile project which is based on the idea that everything can be learned through creativity, emotions and relationships.
Hutter's latest volume is called "Writing that Heals"; a manual of self-therapy through writing, in which to tell and talk about oneself, open the drawers of memories, free oneself from what makes us feel bad.
All the events of the festival sponsored by the City of San Giorgio a Cremano, will therefore focus on written, read, told, drawn, recited, dreamed, blown, walked, built, sung, played narration and will tend to highlight the importance of emotions.
“San Giorgio a Cremano always welcomes events like this one that combine the love for culture and the attention that our city reserves for children” – explains Mayor Giorgio Zinno, who will be present at the opening of the festival.
“This first edition is linked to the Day of Play that our city has been dedicating to the little ones for years, which has just ended and returned to the presence after two years. With Ricomincio dalle Storie - keep it going - we can give our children magical atmospheres and creative ideas to find the time taken away from the gaze and wonder and dedicated instead to routine and habits. The theme of the festival also reflects one of the values that we have always tried to transmit to the new generations, that is 'welcoming' to create an increasingly fair and inclusive community.
Councillor for Education Giuseppe Giordano agrees: "We must contribute to the education and training of our children and young people in a constant and complete way. Therefore, cultural and educational appointments and events are welcome, as long as there is that sharing that has been missing for too long. Now we must look forward to help our young people plan their future."
“Since the dawn of Ricomincio dai libri we have always worked to ensure that ample space and attention was given to children's literature, firmly convinced that good habits should be cultivated from an early age” declares Miryam Gison, bookseller and founding member of the Naples Book Fair.
A demonstration that has deep roots, as Viviana Hutter testifies: “I would like to offer all children the same joy, the same emotions that I felt, because listening to a story is a continuous enrichment, a relationship that is strengthened with the other, it is traveling in wonderful worlds, it is creating memories, it is tying us to others with an invisible thread” .
