Co-authoring stories of possibility
because the stories we tell shape us and what we do.
Thirty-two
is the average number of pages in a children’s picture book and how long we think it takes to gift a lesson on friendship, courage and resilience. Founded in 2021, 32 Pages works with children and families to build emotional resilience through socio-emotional learning (SEL) and positive adult modelling. We believe that emotional awareness is the foundation of a child’s psychosocial development, and that the adults in a child’s life shape that journey. Our work is grounded in evidence-based techniques and extensive ethnographic research that places the voices and needs of our children at the core.
Our 3 pillars.
Our Lil' Readers, Big Thinkers program helps children cultivate a love for learning. Held weekly in the neighborhood, our SEL sessions impart children with the capability to navigate the learning space meaningfully. We give children the words and tools to identify, understand and manage themselves.
We train community members to be great learning facilitators for children. Beyond imparting design thinking frameworks and child-centric approaches, we coach volunteers on how they can create meaningful learning opportunities that cater to the unique needs and strengths of each child.
We create teaching resources to take home for parents and educators who wish to help children better understand themselves and how to form more productive relationships. Our work is grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by our experience working closely with children and families.
