French and German stories open doors to the world

When language becomes a bridge, literature begins with listening: At Multilingual Storytelling in Tandem: French-German, children in the Rieselfeld media library experience a story in German and French. Two professional storytellers create a lively storytelling format for children aged three and up.

A story, two languages, many images

The narration alternates between German and French. This creates a special reading atmosphere where sound, rhythm, and linguistic repetition become a personal literary experience. Even children without knowledge of French can access the story through gesture, voice, and action.

Literary language art for children

Tandem storytelling combines language promotion with cultural education. Children listen attentively, discover different linguistic melodies, and are actively involved in storytelling – regardless of their individual language competence. The event makes it tangible how diverse narratives can sound and how literature enables communication.

Listening and continuing together

The offering takes place in cooperation with the Freiburg program Storytelling · Listening · Continuing by the Education Management. The focus is on the joy of stories, the encounter of different languages, and early reading promotion. The intimate atmosphere of the media library creates a protected space for curiosity, imagination, and shared listening.

Conclusion: A literary experience for the whole family

The event invites children from three years old to discover language with all their senses. Those who wish to experience a child-friendly reading, French-German language art, and cultural encounter live will find an inspiring afternoon full of stories in the Rieselfeld media library.
