The Travelling Book

This is a dream come true for Gal Kleinman, founder of Magical Moments around the World, an online global project whose virtual pages have turned into PAPER and can be seen, read and felt by people across the world. Xisca Riera and I joined the project in 2009, sharing and registering the special moments of a group of Na Caragol students. Three years on we have the honour of being the first to receive and host the "Magical Moments Travelling Book", and our students have the great satisfaction of seeing their words in print in a beautiful publication. Thanks to Julia Oliver Koppen and Ana Garcia, English Coordinators of the British Council Project a special ceremony was organised to celebrate the arrival of the book. Both High School pupils and Primary are continuing to share positive experiences and even families have become involved as parents and grandparents tell of their magical moments.  Congratulations GAL and PARTICIPANTS around the world. The book came with a message of LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY which reflects the essence of the blog PAPERDREAMS. I am very proud to be part of this amazing global initiative and invite everyone to turn the pages and take part too....

Paper paradise

A very cool place in Beijing where anyone can leave a note, message, poem....stick it on the wall or even on the ceiling.
The place was covered with notes in all different languages.












Downstairs you can sit , write out postcards or letters and send them straight off.
