Stories for children (create non-profit association)

Creation of a non-profit association to tell stories to children, from preschool to 4th grade.

With the aim of encouraging and reinforcing the importance of reading, discovering the best values that literature can bring to us, from the youngest to the oldest, we created a literary podcast, called Literary Disobedience.

In order to celebrate World Children's Day , in conversation with the teaching staff, we were invited to tell the story of the Little Prince to the little princes in the first year of school at that school.
Since it was a work we had covered on our podcast, and it had become so beautiful and special to us, we accepted the invitation.
At the end of the session, we were invited to return regularly to discuss relevant citizenship topics with our children and encourage a love of reading and an interest in books.

We were incredibly happy with the invitation and couldn't refuse. However, we were surprised by a major obstacle.
In order to tell these stories, we end up providing a service, and the school only allows us to realize this dream if we have a collective NIF (company or association).

Therefore, our only possibility will be to create a non-profit association , within the scope of culture and education, that will allow us to tell "Stories with Meaning" to our children and give wings to this project.

You can find the Literary Disobedience podcast on YouTube, Spotify and ApplePoscast.

About the author

Ana Mónica and Ana Oliveira work together and share a passion for reading. They are dreamers who want to make the world a better place. They want to give children the tools to form their own opinions and help develop critical thinking skills, as well as helping them understand the importance of empathy.

It has been very gratifying to see the impact these literary conversations have had on those who listen to us on different platforms.

What unites and motivates us is, without a doubt, our love of reading, our shared values that are extremely important for living in society, and our belief that a better future will be in the hands of our children.

Budget and due dates

Creating an entity/association isn't as simple as we imagined. Just for its creation, the IRN is asking for €300 + €75 to name the association "Literary Disobedience." We think it makes sense to keep the podcast's name, as it's what got us here. Any remaining funds we manage to raise will go toward purchasing materials needed to produce the stories, from personalized t-shirts with our identification to children's textbooks.

As the school year is starting, our goal is to raise as much money as possible, with your help, so we can start the stories in September 2025.
