Storytime - Myths and legends across Europe

Today, we have a tendency to think that prejudice and intolerance are things of the past, but our experience shows that we still have a long way to go. We see that there is a lack of tolerance and understanding of other cultures in our communities when we consider that Europe values diversity as one of its core values. Additionally, concepts like diversity, multiculturalism, and tolerance are not well understood. With this project we would like to address this issues through a method that ,we believe, is one of the most inclusive and powerful: Theatre!...

This practice is in fact common  (even if in different forms) to all human’s cultures and it includes folklore, myths, legend and other kind of storytelling activities where a person or a group is sharing a tale or transmitting a message to an audience. During this week we will guide participants through different theatre methods, tricks and paths to create a final show that will have impactful effects on the viewer, the people involved in creating it and the community. After this project we hope to have equiped the participants with strategy, knowledge and skills to feel free to use the “tool” of theatre to transmit the topics they’re most interested in and to make their voices heard.
