About the Youth Exchange
“Know Yourself, Change the Tale” is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange that brings together young people to critically explore traditional stories, fairy tales, and narratives that shape how we see ourselves and society.
📚 Through non-formal education and experiential learning, participants will analyse archetypes, roles, and stereotypes in children’s literature and re-write stories to reflect more inclusive, diverse, and empowering narratives.
This project creates a safe and brave space where young people can explore identity, self-expression, and belonging—free from judgement, discrimination, or exclusion.
