Target group
Media, be it literature, cinema or advertisements continue to influence the society and reinforce regressive social and cultural norms. And challenging these narratives and creating narratives that are inclusive can go a long way in shaping mindsets and equipping children with skills to navigate the various challenges.

About the innovation

Weaving tales, breaking stereotypes

Stories play a powerful role in shaping children's perspectives about themselves, others or the world we live in. Be it reinforcing the ideals of femininity or masculinity that princes and princesses possess or creating a situation where every damsel in distress needs a man to save her, stories for centuries have continued to influence the young minds. And it is no surprise when we hear our girls expressing their love for pink or our boys expressing their desire to be strong, as they internalize these traits through these powerful narratives.

Through Tale Weavers, we wish to create parallel narratives that not only challenge stereotypes but also help empower children with different life skills.

We welcome you to our world of stories where simple conversations, colorful illustrations, and powerful characters help break the stereotypes and create an inclusive learning space which is free of bias- be it gender, religion, race, nationality or ethnicity.
