A European project that connects nature, technology, and culture
Naturetales Live is part of the European Playstories initiative, a project that explores new forms of learning through digital storytelling and interaction in public spaces. Co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe program, it brings together various European partners with the aim of connecting culture, technology, and environmental education through innovative experiences.
In this context, ESPRONCEDA – Institute of Art & Culture, as the lead partner in Spain, is driving the project’s implementation in Barcelona, acting as a bridge between digital innovation and the local cultural ecosystem. Thanks to its track record, it brings these new forms of storytelling to families and new audiences, fostering a more conscious relationship between childhood, culture, and nature.
