Dear Limor, thanks for your message. Oh, that's too sad...part of my heart hurts...Milva's little "Magic Box" was so beautiful! That means the different contents need very special care, although it can happen...it's precious. Would you add a litt...

Yes, contact is important because stories or special requests can easily get lost in the mass of content. The little shell got crushed during transportation but it's bits and pieces have transformed into fairy-dust in the boys story. So I think th...

Come Share your Story, Story Ideas, and learn more about the Story Box Project!

Are you:
A student whose teacher told you that you should publish that story.
A writer who is looking for new audiences for your work.
A storyteller who knows the value of sharing stories.
A parent who wants to let people know about your favorite aunt or uncle
A social activist who wants to share a narrative about change
A dreamer who just wants to tell us about the worlds you create
A person who is proud of their country’s tradition and wants others in the world to know about it:

Share your stories by sending them to us so that we can place them in the international/national Story Boxes. These Story Boxes are shared with new audiences in places in and around the world. Hundreds and thousands of people will read them. A teacher may use the story to help their classroom. A storyteller may perform your story to a group of kids. We have had people published as a result of reading their story in the Story Box. A community organizer may share their story to help others value their community. A child may create their own world based on your imagination. We guarantee the story will travel and with each new place, new readers will discover your story.

The Story Box is designed to help share the global world of stories. The narrative either we make up or we live is worth sharing with others. No story is edited. We do ask that you mark it for kids /adults or both. It is simply placed in the Story Box. However, when you fill out the story form,(see below) people are encouraged to let you know where the story travels and what they did with it. Don’t be surprised to hear from others around the world about your story. Kids write the authors. Other writers share ideas. Your writing is part of the Global sharing experiences.

You can sign up to host or receive a StoryBox or send stories at the website, www.storyboxproject.com

The StoryBox project - field report, Zichron Yaakov Israel, part four

By now we have a bunch of 15 raw stories. Some of them need polishing; others are looking for a sufficient ending. Since we knew that this time we will have only one hour to work with the kids, we decided to do two things – find a creative expression that will travel together with the stories and do some kind of warm-up on the way to actually telling the stories to others. Like in standing in front of other people and talking…

Fear is what I wanted to avoid. A little fear can turn into exciteme… Continue

The StoryBox project - field report, Zichron Yaakov Israel, part five

We have stories! Today they finished writing them so the meeting was mainly about writing, prompting and writing again. Ilan asked me to bring the box, "It has a magical influence," he said. It does. As they wrote I was looking for a matchbox Nathalie told me about and I found it. Two of the boys were finished so I gave them the tiny box, told them about the girl who made it, the girl from Switzerland who didn't have a story and asked them if they would write one for her. Since we had only about… Continue

The StoryBox project - field report, Zichron Yaakov Israel, part three – the box arrives!

I was overwhelmed by my own excitement when the box arrived. Although aware of the power of its mechanism, it influenced me and Ilan all the same. It arrived and immediately I sent Ilan an SMS "tell them the box is here". I had to leave home and an hour later received a call from him, "where are you?! I'm walking around your house trying to find a window I could at least see the box through!"

Ilan had to wait until we met again. I peeked in, to find a fabulous surprise – a hand-knitted box from… Continue
