The Fair Tale Project was an initiative that resulted from our passion for young people and educating the next generations of active international citizens for whom equity, diversity, and cooperation are significant. During this youth exchange, participants discovered the way to these values hidden in children's fairy tales. Children learn from the successes and mistakes of characters in the stories they read, which helps them with their critical thinking skills. Fairy tales model behavior for children and provide a context in which children can evaluate their emotions and decision-making. Just like Albert Einstein said: “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” There are various benefits coming from reading to children and making them read fantastic stories from an early age, and they are being observed worldwide. Here in Poland the slogan of popularizing reading action "Read to me, mom" became already a part of our thinking of raising children as smart and creative human beings. Among the benefits of fairy tales for children, psychologists distinguish: early literacy development, positive problem-solving skills, building resilience in children, story-telling development, conflict resolution, the development of characters, heroes and villains, and thus easier recognition of bad and good, broadening their imagination, and what was the most important for our project: cultural literacy with an emphasis to various cross-cultural values and behaviors. Not only reading fairy tales but also creating them is an extremely fruitful and instructive process. First of all, it awakens creativity, assessment of the situation, imagination, the ability to teach but without a pompous tone, as well as language development, and the ability to convey values in a simple and understandable way. By writing the tales, one also absorbs their message. And who said adults can't read fairy tales? Combining the benefits of reading fairy tales and creating them, we finally move on to the benefits of sharing fairy tales, cowriting, critically exchanging comments, adding our own chapters of history and building new imaginary universes. In the name of humanistic thought, transmitted by modern thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum, we believe that the development of the art of writing leads to an increase in emotional intelligence, which translates into open-mindedness in the future. With such far-reaching consequences of reading fairy tales, we contribute to building a society that respects human rights, understands the need for equal opportunities for minorities, and is able to solve problems in a wise and creative way. Taking into account the conditions mentioned above, the Salamandra Foundation together with its trusted partners tried to think seriously about the consequences of something as seemingly trivial as fairy tales for children. In this way, we jointly created The Fair Tale Project YE, during which 42 participants from both the European Union and third countries wrote and illustrated new fairy tales for children that keep spreading the values promoted by the Erasmus+ program to the world. Thanks to such a deep diversity of our group, the created pieces of literature for the youngest pass on to them the universal good, tolerance, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and FAIRness. The background of each participating national team contributed largely to enriching this experience with new perspectives. The project was created in English, as each partner was deeply involved in building this exchange together from the earliest stages. Moreover, our fair(y) tales were translated into all the languages of the participating countries to achieve the greatest possible reach. We have produced together 6 new short stories written and illustrated by young, motivated people who care about the future of new generations. They were prepared in English, Polish, Hungarian, Armenian, Arabic, Ukrainian, and Greek and shared with the world through local dissemination events. Thanks to cooperation with local school in Poręba Wielka, we had the opportunity to share our work already at the stage of creation and listen to comments from the youngest. In addition to the 6 newly created fairy tales, we organized 2 events, one supporting the creative process and promoting the project, the other disseminating the results of creation among local children. During the project, we conducted many activities supporting creativity and intercultural exchange, as well as workshops supporting the process of writing and illustrating, a study visit and an evening cultural programs.
