A journey into the imaginary of the world’s cultures

«In order to imagine, we need images: every
teacher knows that the capacity to think in
images contributes to the development of
creative thought and encourages spontaneous
visual creativity» (Marco Dallari)

The narrator’s briefcase is a collection of
materials – inspired by decorations and ornaments
made worldwide throughout the
centuries – which aims to stimulate in children
the ability to create stories and build
narrations.

In this game, images become stories. Children can freely associate images and thoughts, find unexpected ideas, get inspiration to invent new fairy tales and myths, and re-elaborate graphic-pictorial materials, giving life to new scenarios.
