Tapori, the children’s branch of ATD Fourth World, works to build friendship between children from all backgrounds from around the world. Tapori children are connected to each other thanks to the monthly Tapori letter that gives news, tells true stories of courage and friendship, and proposes monthly campaigns so that children can act against poverty and exclusion.

Campaign for Tapori’s 50th Anniversary

In 2017, Tapori is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion children are invited “to look for the keys to friendship and peace” by creating puppets that tell true stories of friendship.

All around the world, children gather to think together – in groups, in their neighborhoods, at school, or during festive moments – you can join them!

• Make puppets as in Mauritius
• Sing the song “At Tapori” together!
• Read Tapori stories such as Irenge’s story which launched the Tapori campaign
• Find out what has changed for these children in their lives and for their neighborhoods thanks to Tapori by reading Stories of Change, for example: I Don’t Have Any Friends but I’d like to Have a Lot, The Dancing Tree, My Turn to Read Stories to Others, The House of Friendship, or Solidarity Gets Everyone on Their Feet.
• Visit the Tapori website to read news from children all around the world.
