Stories at Play: A Hands-on Story-Building Workshop with Project DEFY | 14 February | 11AM Onwards | Champaca, Indiranagar

Join us at Champaca Bookstore, Indiranagar for Stories at Play, a hands-on Story-Building workshop in collaboration with Project DEFY.

This session invites readers of all ages to spend a slow morning with stories, reading together, thinking aloud, and creating something new. It’s designed for anyone curious about how stories shape learning, imagination, and connection, without needing any prior writing or teaching experience.

What to expect

Participants will work in small mixed-age groups, reading a curated children’s book together and using it as a starting point to imagine new characters, worlds, and stories. Through simple prompts, each group will build a short, handmade children’s book.

The session ends with a shared reflection on reading, learning, and what it feels like to build stories together.

Here are all the event details:
