Green literature workshop

We are now in the middle of a very exiting workshop in Antsirabe. It is prepared and led by Green Living in Stavanger, Norway. The workshop trainers, however, are both from Madagascar and Norway, and the participants are Malagasy youth.

Our part of this workshop is a literature seminar for youth where the outcome will be a book containing texts about the environment. Until now there have been youth groups from the organization Green Pilots and student groups from several schools sharing experience and learning how to write good stories. We have been able to collect many good short stories, fairytales, funny stories and poems for the book. It will be hard work to select the texts which are going to be published in the book.
