Event Description

Step into a world where stories come alive!

This playful, imaginative psychodrama workshop invites children (ages 8–12) and their parents into a delightful exploration of friendship through three beloved tales—The Musicians of Bremen, Krishna and Sudama, and The Monkey and the Crocodile. Together, we’ll jump into the roles of these memorable characters, improvising new meanings and alternative endings, while joyfully navigating friendship’s adventures, challenges, and deeper meanings.

Expect laughter, noise, creativity, and quiet reflections as we uncover essential lessons about friendship. Two unforgettable hours spent deepening bonds through story, play, and shared discovery.

Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.

Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
