An interactive workshop that uses legends from Greek oral tradition as a case study to explore intangible cultural heritage and the theme of sustainability from an international perspective.
Starting from the digital database oralliterature.omeka.net, developed in an academic context, the legends are not presented as static archival material, but activated as participatory educational tools.
The aim is to bring participants closer to oral tradition as a living form of knowledge, through which communities have expressed their relationship with nature, collective responsibility, and shared values over time.
Working in small multinational groups, participants will analyze selected legends and, through creative activities such as retelling, performance, and contemporary reinterpretation, will be invited to translate them into their own cultural context, developing critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and new perspectives on sustainability.
