The objective of this project was to produce a collection of tales/stories written by authors from four cultural minority groups living in Europe: Armenian, Berber, Kurd, and Roma. Children from multicultural schools have illustrated the books during three residential seminars with artists from the MUS-E project.

The project has worked with representatives of the cultural groups targeted and the collection of tales has been published in the original language as well as in French and Spanish, Italian and Greek.

               

The direct beneficiaries have been the children who have illustrated the stories by working collectively during two residential seminars held in the partner countries. The project has also given visibility to the cultural heritage of minority groups living in Europe. It is hoped that this project will act as an innovative model to start a collection of tales from groups not covered by this project.

              

The project has been implemented in Belgium, France, Greece, and Spain, and will be co-ordinated from the Brussels office of the IYMF. It began in October 2001 until September 2002 and was accepted by the European commission under the Culture 2000 programme.

The books are on sale now, in France, Italy, Spain and Greece.
