+ What age groups are your books for?
Golden Key Tales books are primarily designed for children aged 5-12, featuring stories tailored to their needs and interests. However, the themes covered—such as the climate crisis, technology, friendship, and emotional development—can also spark discussions among older readers, parents, and educators.
+ What is the “Tales 4 Change” initiative?
“Tales 4 Change” is a social and environmental initiative by Golden Key Tales that uses literature as a tool for positive change. Through this initiative:
- We organize educational programs in schools, raising awareness about topics like the climate crisis and artificial intelligence.
- We collaborate with organizations such as WWF on environmental protection efforts (e.g., adopting a polar bear).
- We offer interactive activities that help children understand key social issues through stories.
With “Tales 4 Change,” our stories go beyond the pages of books to inspire children to become future leaders of change!

Absolutely! Golden Key Tales organizes interactive school events to educate and raise awareness through literature.
Our activities include:
- Book presentations on themes such as climate crisis, artificial intelligence, friendship, and emotional development.
- Educational programs & hands-on workshops, allowing children to engage in activities inspired by our stories.
- Activities with mascots, such as the polar bear Koa, bringing stories to life in a fun and engaging way.
- Music & theatrical performances, where children become part of the story through sounds, movement, and imagination.
- Discussions on global issues, giving children a platform to express their thoughts and propose solutions.
Our activities are designed to be fun, educational, and aligned with our books’ values, helping children become informed and conscious citizens of the future!
+ Why did you adopt a polar bear?
Adopting a polar bear through WWF was both a symbolic and meaningful step within the “Tales 4 Change” initiative by Golden Key Tales.
Why a polar bear?
- The polar bear is a symbol of the climate crisis and environmental destruction.
- It is the protagonist of the book Koa: Journey to Save the Worlds, where Koa and her friends work to save the planet.
- Through this initiative, we aim to show that literature can inspire real-world action.
What does this adoption mean?
- It supports conservation programs for polar bears and their ecosystems.
- It raises environmental awareness among children and our audience.
- It proves that even small actions can have a big impact!
Koa is not just a fictional character—she is an ambassador for change. Through our stories and initiatives, we strive to inspire children to become defenders of our planet!
+ Do you operate throughout Greece?
Golden Key Tales does not yet organize events across all of Greece, but our books are available in bookstores nationwide so that readers from every region can access them.
We also collaborate with a network of partners, including journalists, educators, and authors from all over Greece, exchanging ideas, proposals, and best practices to promote education and literacy.
Where do we conduct activities? Currently, our educational programs, book presentations, and hands-on workshops take place in schools, libraries, and cultural venues in Athens and Thessaloniki. Our goal is to expand our activities to other regions of Greece in the future!
+ What is your connection to education?
Education is at the heart of our mission! Our books and activities are not just entertaining but also serve as educational tools, helping children understand critical contemporary issues.
