Producing this competition took me back to the origins of our brand. As I wrote in the previous newsletter , Enéas Guerra and I are creative partners at Solisluna and we met in a printing shop in Salvador. After that meeting, we became friends and decided to take a trip to Chapada Diamantina...

“ It seems to me that there is no better experience (after reading, certainly, and after writing, sometimes) than this open meeting with readers. These are moments to stop, fuel the conversation and allow reflections that don’t always happen in everyday life.”

Creative writing workshop with Sara Bertrand
Organized by Solisluna, the creative writing course 'Diário de Viagem' takes place in Salvador. There will be two classes, on the 7th (Monday) and 8th of August (Tuesday) , always from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Aimed at adults, the objective is to translate everyday observation into text.
“The proposal is to look at our everyday life as something extraordinary, different, and thus perceive the unusual in the ordinary. Any life can be narrated. In other words: we are all a novel to be written and, to do so, we just need to make ourselves available."
vacancies sold out.

Children's words evoke distant and ignored worlds and meanings to which we adults are often deaf and insensitive.
So, how about reading and listening to the true and direct voices of children? This is what the book written and illustrated by boys and girls from all over the world proposes, published by Solisluna and Selo Emília in partnership with Reggio Children. Giving children a voice is the courageous adventure of this publication, based on the principles of the Reggio Emilia educational approach, which places children as the primary authors of their own lives.
