We’re thrilled to share highlights from our recent collaboration with Open Studio, an initiative dedicated to collecting and passing on life lessons from people around the world.
In their latest Studio edition, 12 educators and community builders stepped into a two-month virtual journey as playmates—and together co-authored 8 beautifully illustrated storybooks.
A Collective Tapestry of Stories and Wisdom
The participants gathered stories rooted in the communities, memories, and ecologies they live in. From a participatory researcher in Oxford to an educator in the mountains of Uttarakhand, from a filmmaker in Chennai to a game designer in Bangalore—each person brought their unique questions, cultures, and creative spark to the Studio.
Many Hats, One Purpose
Along the way, they wore many hats—wisdom seekers, artists, storytellers—transforming their insights into illustrated storybooks that preserve and celebrate local wisdom.
Powered by Collaboration
This edition was supported by Earth Company and brought to life in collaboration with Storyfave. We’re honored to have contributed to the creation of these stories and to see how storytelling continues to connect communities across borders.
