The sustainability expert and children’s books author Eleni Andreadis reads excerpts from her new, book, a fresh collection of fairy tales, where old, classic stories are overturned and recreated for the modern era, highlighting the power of fairy tales to make our planet better!
Once upon a time, Little Red Riding Hood helped the lion save the animals of the African savannah, Jack defeated the evil wizard in the penthouse of a huge apartment building, and the mermaid grew legs not to marry the prince, but to talk to him about saving the seabed... A fresh collection of fairy tales, where old, classic stories are overturned and recreated for the modern era, highlighting the power of fairy tales to make our planet better!
Eleni Andreadi
Eleni Andreadi was born in London. She traveled and worked in many countries, including England, Germany and America, where she majored in Environmental Policy and Media at Harvard University. There, she took a course in creative writing and wrote a novel, which she quickly hid in her drawer. When she returned to Greece in 2009, she founded the Non-Profit Organization Agents of the Planet, which invites children to save the planet through secret missions. The organization’s experiential environmental programs are implemented in elementary schools across the country and have been awarded for their innovation by the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. Her first book, Become an Agent of the Planet, won the State Children’s Book Award in the Knowledge Book category in 2015, while the second in the series was shortlisted. Her books are translated and published in countries such as America, China, Korea, Turkey and Egypt. Metaichmio Publications publishes the five books in the Agents of the Planet series, as well as the books Justin Gray and the Guardians of Earth, A Cloud for My Birthday and Why We Erased the Letter B.
The Art Explora Pop Library is a unique pop-up library created specifically for the Art Explora Festival in Piraeus, dedicated to themes of climate justice, water, and science. Libraries have always been vital spaces that hold and share stories from across the Mediterranean, offering places of belonging, reflection, and togetherness.
The library's collection has been generously donated by Library4All, We Need Books and Athens Comics Library.
The space has been created with the use of the famous Travelling Library, part of the Children’s Library Myrsini Zorba of the Network for Children’s Rights, a non-profit organisation that since 2004 has been promoting and protecting children’s rights through education, culture, advocacy and community programmes. The Network, awarded for its contribution to the promotion and protection of children’s rights as defined by the UNCRC, brings together educators, artists, specialists and community members to create safe, inclusive spaces where children and young people can learn, express themselves and thrive.
Awarded for its contribution to the promotion and protection of children's rights as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the Network brings together educators, artists, specialists and community members to create safe, inclusive spaces where children and young people can learn, express themselves and flourish.
Avec les livres et les droits de l’enfant comme principaux outils, cette bibliothèque vise à informer et sensibiliser les enfants, en cultivant la prévention, la protection, la coopération et la participation sur des sujets qui les concernent — comme la communauté et l’environnement.
