📖 Objects, songs, and first stories

Snow has fallen and colors have escaped. Featuring an odd creature found at the library, along with lemons, strawberries, bananas, and a mango, the session offers fruits to sing about and tickles to wrap things up. "BEGIRA" introduces early childhood literature through everyday objects, sounds, songs, and picture books that spark wonder. Children and families take an active part, imagining and building each tale alongside the narrator.

🎭 Gabonak Arte and oral storytelling

This event is presented within Gabonak Arte 2026, subtitled "My first festival of artistic experiences". The cycle revives the age-old tradition of passing tales by word of mouth to foster early human connections and ignite imagination. Azkuna Zentroa's Sala Bastida becomes an inviting shelter where spoken words intertwine with music, imagery, and sensory moments exploring friendship, love, diversity, and curiosity.

ℹ️ Good to know: Recommended for children aged 2 to 3 years.

✨ A charming family encounter celebrating the wonder and magic of oral stories.
