The Embassy of Switzerland in India and Bhutan supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia together launched “Let me Tell you a Story” - a series of story-writing and illustration workshops. The story-writing workshops were facilitated by ThinkArts India and VAST Bhutan.

Three story-writing workshops held on every Saturday between 11th September and 25th September 2021 and were attended by 82 schoolchildren in the age group of 8 to 12 years.  These children from three schools in Thimphu came together at the facility of VAST Bhutan, where they were guided with prompts to write their own stories on the topics of peace, friendship, diversity, sustainability.

We are delighted to present to you the result of this unique exercise. Do read the stories and spread the word!
