Children are always expected to end up being adults of a certain kind who are able to appreciate art and have a sense of aesthetics. But if they are not exposed to the world of arts from a young age, where can this come from?" points out Parvathi Ramanathan, manager, collaborations, at the Kolkata-based non-profit ThinkArts, while explaining why they have been creating immersive and engaging experiences to expose kids to art, culture and history since 2013. As children tend to have their own way of looking at the world, she adds, it's not just important to create art for a young audience, but also make space for them to participate in it. And a result of this willingness to help kids be stakeholders in the world of arts has led to their latest project - Let Me Tell You A Story - inviting six to nine-year-olds from South Asia and Switzerland to pen their tales.
