5. Milk and Cookie Stories Exchange Street, Temple Bar Since Oct 2009 Non-profit storytelling group based in Dublin, Ireland. They’re looking to find out what stories our city has to tell. Storytelling, though very much a thriving art form, is rarely the focus of any event or performance. They believe that storytelling deserves to be placed in the spotlight. Dublin needs a place for people to come to hear a good story, and maybe tell one – Milk and Cookies aim to provide that place. Milk and Cookies isn’t just for writers and performers – they would like anyone who has a tale to tell, or wants to hear a story told well, to have a warm, relaxed environment to do just that. A place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends. 10/07/10 Designing Dublin 2.0 - Love the City

The stories are all different and yet they are all strangely familiar. In this simple way they reflect both our diversity as peoples and our shared humanity. Our plan in 2007 is to produce a package of both this CD and its accompanying booklet and to make it available to schools throughout Ireland .

12. The Baldwin Project USA 2000 Modern science books for children almost invariably are full of pictures, captions, insets, charts, tables and facts, but appear to be intended to be browsed rather than read. In our grandparents' age, however, it was thought that simply reading a fascinating explanation of what causes an earthquake, how an icicle forms, or how a rose blooms would be of great interest to children, and the genre of narrative science, was a popular one. The Baldwin Project currently offers three of the most popular narrative science books of yesteryear. While each of these books has wonderful illustrations, the main attraction is their excellent description of a wide variety of scientific phenomena, all directed at grammar school and junior high school age children. 10/07/10 Designing Dublin 2.0 - Love the City
