This project brought together four post-primary schools from the South East of Ireland to explore the 
traditions around storytelling and folktales and what we can learn about them in contemporary times. 
The aims of this project were to:

• Show the shared nature of our European heritage through our shared use of folktales throughout 
  history
• Demonstrate that the actions that we are being urged to take to achieve the Sustainable Develop
  ment Goals are consistent with the lessons we have been given throughout our history 
• Help students make connections to their own heritage in their home country and in Europe
