This resource book is tailored to professional and non-professional facilitators who intend to
organise workshops to highlight regional legends and stories. Of the twelve texts gathered here,
some tell legends or folk stories, others evoke the life of a historical figure. Each of the texts can
be linked to a territory far from the major cultural centres. In this way, we wanted to bring to life
local legends and elements of heritage which are less, or even little known, in certain European
regions. These texts are assembled with the aim of triggering exchanges and discussions on the
local literary and folkloric heritage. Seeing them mixed with each other also allows them to be
compared with legends from other geographical areas. Each text is followed by two activities. The first offers discussion and analysis of the themes addressed. The second suggests creative exercises to design posters, postcards, paper-mache objects, etc., which can then be exhibited, either face-to-face or digitally.
