We wished to promote Slovenian and Austrian folk tales with the desire to promote the awareness of folk heritage, which is so valuable that along with folk tales and songs it must not be forgotten! We aim to raise awareness among educators of pre-school children, teachers, and children in kindergartens and pupils at scholls about the elemental power of folk tales and songs. Folk traditions reach deep into the past and draw vallues from the wisdom of our ancestors. We treated the needs of children and adults. Today, they both are increasingly pushed into an artificial world of virtuality, away from nature and natural laws. Our project tries to bring children back to the source of folk tales, which for centuries bound generations together and instill timeless values, moral lessons, and folk wisdom in the young generations. Our project is innovative in the efforts to approach to folk tales through three ways: -storytelling - intended for children; -psychological-sociological aspect of the story - intended for educators in kindergartens and teachers at schools; -relaxation techniques adapted to the contents of individual tales - intended for children, educators of pre-school children and teachers.
