About the Youth Exchange
โKnow Yourself, Change the Taleโ 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.
๐ Through non-formal education and experiential learning, participants will analyse archetypes, roles, and stereotypes in childrenโs 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 belongingโfree from judgement, discrimination, or exclusion.
