History |
As children we used to play outdoors every single day after school until sunset. We had lots of adventures, plenty of imagination and played freely and unsupervised. Wanting to continue our love of play into our adulthood, we had the idea of starting an amateur puppet theater company. We dressed as fairies and shared enchanting nature stories about the importance of protecting nature.
After one of our performances, a child came up to us and whispered : “Take me on an adventure! Show me the magic of nature!” It was then that we realized, as fairies, we should be outside the theater room and our message could have a greater impact for protecting nature.. We knew that we had a role in children’s nature awareness: through the Magic of Nature and all her beings. That’s how Movimento Bloom was born In 2010. Since our first meeting with Joseph Cornell in 2011 we've been determined to start and spread the Sharing Nature program in our country.
