Family workshop ‘Puzzle Post’: A secret letter in your mother tongue, fold and decorate.

(walk-in) In cooperation with Amstelland Library
Ra ra ra what's in my letter? In the time of the English Queen Victoria (more than124 years ago!), people wrote letters in a very special way. They folded the paper into a nice shape, decorated it with drawings and wrote a secret message or a little poem. In this workshop, we make our own Victorian (puzzle) letter. You will choose your own words, turn them into a small poem under supervision and decorate the letter with drawings. It will become a secret message in your own language! Who will you send your secret letter to?

The Book Week theme is ‘Your mother tongue'Your mother tongue could be your mother's language. But it does not have to be.

For many writers and readers, Dutch is not their first language, but it is their mother tongue. Flat or shit, street language or regional, dialect or ABN... Your mother tongue is the language in which you speak, write, sing, poetry, curse, cheer and love.
