![]() Moreover, so much rote learning stifles the growth of young children’s ability to think creatively and critically. If children are reprimanded for giving a ‘wrong’ answer, this can harm self confidence and undermine their motivation to learn. This contrasts to the way young children are so often expected to give only ‘correct’ answers, which the teacher already knows. All Storyplay activities, over time, contribute towards young children becoming motivated, engaged, creative and critical literacy learners. We see how children become engrossed in their learning when they connect to various interesting opportunities to compose, write, draw retell stories and read.

Eventually, in 2022, Baricco himself enacted his text, available on RaiPlay. Four years later, in 1998, Giuseppe Tornatore directed a movie based on the monologue, The Legend of 1900. Italian publishing company Feltrinelli published the text the same year: the writer described this work as halfway between a play and a tale to be read loud.

In the same year, he founded Scuola Holden, a school for storytelling and the performing arts.
