After the storytelling they got a coloring paper with protagonist of story.During listen the story everybody was so concentrated and charmed.We didn't understand anything but it was a good and positiv experience for us,for the children ,but most of for the parents :)

(Josep Albanell was born in Vic (Osona) on Christmas Day 1945. He lived in Seu d’Urgell (Alt Urgell) during his childhood and adolescence. He feels himself a son of both communities, of Vic by birth and family tradition and of Urgell by adoption and devotion. These days he lives in Barcelona. He began journalism studies in Madrid but left them for a degree in Philosophy and Letters (philology), which he received from the University of Barcelona. For many years he worked in publishing. With the pseudonym of Joles Sennell he writes literature for boys and girls. He was one of the originators of Ofèlia Dracs. Between books of short stories, novels, children’s literature and theater, he has written a decent handful of works, some of which won him prizes. He is married with two children, Maria and Francesc, for which he has not been awarded any prize. 

He is a member of AELC (Association of Catalan Language Writers).)

Workshops in Minairons

Since January every Wednesday, we are doing workshops with little children age 2 and 3.

It's a little bit funny because we don't speak the same language, but on the other side, we understand each other very well. With the help of pictures, songs, and prop that we made.

First three workshops were about our countries. We presented in our creative way Ucraina, Serbia and Hungary. We have fun with them and we hope they learned something from us. Maybe just a few English words, it will be more than enough :) Next workshops we are planning to make for children a little playhouse presenting fairy tales in English. We hope they will have fun with us like we do with them!
