Workshops.
Our workshops introduce kids to journalling in the most joyful way we know: through stories, interactive pages and craft. Each one invites them to look a little closer, ask questions, and capture what they discover in their own words and drawings.
We believe journalling is a gift for the whole family. It helps children slow down, notice the world around them and build confidence in their own voice, and it gives families a shared way to remember the little things together.

Feathered Friends
Backstory Bookshop, Barcelona
This workshop invited kids to uncover Barcelona’s magic. They cracked secret codes, unleashed their creativity with art activities inspired by Barcelona’s vibrant beauty, and set off on a scavenger hunt exploring the city’s bird life, history and charm. Along the way, they dived into journalling to capture the excitement of their discoveries and began a gratitude diary to reflect on their experiences.
