Our Tales The communication skills of the children are nowadays neglected, so the main task of our project is to reinforce the ability to strengthen the sense of speech and verbalism in the way closest to young children, with tales. Teachers from five countries try different fairy tale methods, then share their experiences and write their own tales, reinforced with what's new and learned. The characters in the tales are the heroes of the countries, they introduce the different cultures and improve the children's verbal communication. In the tales, the characters experience the adventures together with children, enriching their vocabulary and language skills. The 3-7 year olds make online friends, get to know the tales and heroes of other countries, and help them figure out the characters' adventures. New content is being added to programs with parents, that helps to involve families as well. In addition to traditional storytelling, info-communication technologies have a significant role to play today, in which the openness and motivation of the teacher is decisive (online tales). The result is an illustrated digital storybook, each with an English dictionary that can be seen on eTwinning, and shared as good practice.
OUR tales Educators from five countries tried different storytelling methods and then shared their experiences with each other. A great, bubbly teacher creative workshop was established, and they continue to work, strengthened by what they have experienced and learned. We processed folk tales and wrote our own fairy tales with fairy tale heroes chosen together. Through the stories, we got to know the culture of the partners and developed the children's oral and linguistic communication. Children aged 3-7 made friends online and got to know the fairy tales and heroes of other countries. We enriched the joint programs with parents with new content and popularized storytelling. In addition to traditional storytelling, we tried digital tools and story-making programs. The story adaptations and own stories were shared in the form of books among parents and in professional circles.
