Forest Stories

Happy Earth Day!

On this Earth Day we celebrate forests through storytelling.

From 21st February, International Mother Language Day, to 21st March, the International Day of Forests and the Day for the elimination of racial discrimination, the Rutu Foundation collected stories about the forest from near and far. Children, teachers, parents and others shared their 50+ creative stories in 25 languages. Read more about the campaign here.

The Multilingual Intercultural Forest Story

The language friendly toolkit is full of forest stories for teachers and parents to help children share their thoughts and reflect on forests and nature through storytelling.
