Fairy tales from around the world

In February, some of our volunteers from five different countries (Turkey, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy), went to the Alen Mak kindergarten. Each of them prepared a fairy tale and a video in their native language to tell the little ones. In this way, the children could listen to languages ​​other than their own and follow the story through images. At the end they heard a summary of the story in Bulgarian to understand it.

First was the Turkish fairy tale called "Nasreddenin hodja ye küküm ye" ("Eat my fur coat eat"). Next up was the lesser-known German fairy tale "Frau Holle" ("Mother Hulda").

Then came the Spanish fairy tale "Platero y yo" ("Platero y yo") by Juan Ramón Jiménez. This was followed by the Portuguese story "História da Carochinha" ("The story of the beetle"). Finally was presented, the most famous Italian fairy tale: "Pinocchio". The kindergarten children also told us a story; The funny story of the family who tries and fails to get a large vegetable out of the ground. We are happy to be able to share a little of our culture with the kindergarten and also to learn something about a Bulgarian history, and to have been able to carry out this intercultural journey.

It was a very fun morning for both volunteers and children, who had a great time discovering the world.
