AIDGLOBAL is preparing a new action in favor of diversity and inclusion, for parents and children, at the Lx Factory in Lisbon.
On Sunday, September 22, coinciding with European Mobility Week, at 4 p.m., the Ler Devagar bookshop will host a children's activity to promote environmental education and strengthen ties between children from Mozambique and Portugal, based on the story of “A Formiga JUJU na Cidade das Papaias”, reflecting on the effects of pollution in the city.
Formiga JUJU is a civic movement promoting reading and creative expression, founded in Mozambique in February 2012. Through the publication of children's stories and the organization of educational activities, the movement promotes the spread of values such as solidarity, diversity, creativity, unity, inclusion, participation, environmental protection and citizenship. AIDGLOBAL has embraced the Movement for its strong message, taking on the promotion of children's activities in schools and libraries. After the last readings at the Lisbon Book Fair 2013, with LeYa, this ant dressed in a capulana will once again be present at the Ler Devagar bookshop, which already hosted the launch of the Movement in Portugal exactly one year ago. This time, the book's author, Cristiana Pereira, will also be present. Whenever JUJU wakes up after washing her face, she delights in eating a papaya. One day, however, she finds her friend the papaya tree crying disconsolately because the rain has stopped coming and the town has run out of papayas. JUJU sets off on an odyssey through the town and the forest to ask the sea what happened to the rain. Don't miss this event!
