Like the topic suggests, the main intention of the project was to give children a platform where they got the freedom to think, write, draw and express themselves through the medium of stories. My research revolves around studying and analyzing the stories the children write, to understand how they construct stories, their influences, inspirations, and difficulties faced while doing so. I also had to observe how they go about when asked to illustrate their own stories. Along with conducting workshops and interacting with children I did a brief survey of magazines, newspapers and other avenues that allow children to participate and provide them with a scope for creativity. Through my project I have tried to come up with different ways for encouraging children to write and draw their own stories both at personal level as well as on a larger scale.
