Pinksie the Whale with Alessandra Pieratelli

Friendship from food

Workshop – ages 6-10
60 minutes
Maximum participants 25

Discover the world’s different food cultures in a workshop that combines lively storytelling and time for creative activities with the topic of sustainability and the pleasure of sharing food. Tasty, easy-to make recipes won’t be lacking.

Pinksie the Whale with Alessandra Pieratelli is an international project (London, 2012) aimed at teaching children to be curious and open to different and more conscious realities. Pinksie’s activities are inspired by the Pinksie the Whale books: a pink whale facing thousands of adventures to overcome her fear of being different. In Italy, the Pinksie the Whale project is promoted by Associazione Mercurio.
