School System
An initiative designed to reconnect children with local folklore while fostering real-world connections through the power of storytelling. This activity captured the spirit of Pakistan's folktales through the eyes of children!
This collaboration is more than a project; it’s a celebration of heritage, storytelling, and the timeless magic of shared human experiences. Bringing them to life in new ways for audiences far and wide.
Clicks and Culture
Students from grades 3 to 5 set out on a delightful mission to uncover stories from their grandparents, parents, and elder family members. Each story they collected became a bridge, connecting generations and weaving a stronger sense of family and community. Students learned not only to record oral heritage but also to contribute to a digital repository that will preserve these stories for the world to discover.
BSS teachers have provided us with a treasure trove of folktales - an extraordinary database brimming with narratives steeped in culture and history, which we shall transcribe and translate to bring to your screen!
