What we do

Get to know Era Uma Vez

Our organizations aims to teach children from low-income backgrounds in Brazil how to write and publish their own non-fictional or fictional stories while cultivating a love for writing, a passion for reading, and an appreciation for creativity and collaboration. Our goal is to encourage commitment to learning and literacy by making it enjoyable and relatable.  
Through weekly workshops, students are guided through a detailed  curriculum that teaches them the process behind story creation while putting pen, paper, and their imaginations together. At the end of the workshop, students leave as accomplished young authors with a published version of their completed story in the form of a physical, thoughtfully-crafted book.

Our workshops provide opportunities and space for students to feel empowered to tell their own stories. In the workshops, we support students with: 
  • structure and elements of a narrative
  • plot development
  • creative brainstorming
  • creative processes
At the end of the workshop, each student will have written and illustrated their own printed and published book, contributing to the next generation of creative, fantastic young authors!
