INTERNATIONAL PROJECT 2009 / MYTHS – TALES AND STORIES
Our partners: Norway, China, Italy
Partner schools in Italy and Norway:

Dear All,
Slavic myths, tales and stories are really mysterious and not so well-known. We find them very interesting and would like to share with you our visual impressions. Both undergradute and PhD students from the Faculty of Fine Arts here in Torun, Poland have tried to find the best way to advertise and explain Slavic mythology to young people. During last months they have organized few artistic and educational workshops for children. These occassions have been an enormous inspiration for both students and youngsters.
We will be delighted if you check the updates on this webpage and comment on our progress.
Project Coordinator,
Joanna Wroblewska
