Let Me Tell You A Fairy Tale

As part of the Project “SUB.1.1.6  Attracting individuals aged 65 and over and individuals with disabilities to events of the Greek National Opera”

The new intergenerational workshop Let Me Tell You A Fairy Tale brings to the foreground known and unknown fairy tales from around the world. The programme is designed for individuals aged 65 and over and children aged 8 to 12. It invites them to embark on a fascinating voyage through time using stories, songs, and storytelling, with the goal of building communication bridges between the generations.

Starting with fairy tales and stories derived from the folk traditions of many countries, participants will partake in a wide range of experiential games and technical exercises focused on the art of storytelling. They will sing melodies based on the stories and use basic musical instruments to co-create original soundscapes that will accompany the storytelling process.

The programme will be carried out in schools across the Attica region – outside the regular curriculum –  following prior agreement with the respective school principals.

The programme will be implemented in schools in Attica, outside the regular curriculum, during November 2024, January, February, March, April, and May 2025, following prior agreement with the respective school principals.
