Tajik women reading magic tale to her

baby, so he grow beautiful as

Majnun (Tajik interpretation of Romeo)

and strong as Ilya Murometc -

one of three Hercules's from Russian

folk tale.

 

While participating in Folk Tales activity, students collected and studied examples of the folklore of their country. They researched, recorded, and analyzed these stories, concentrating on the morals they teach and how they support their culture's unique values and traditions. Then they compared these tales and morals to those of their partner country, discussing the similar themes, characters, adventures, and the unique social aspects they reveal, as well as the relevance of the tales and morals today.
