🇮🇹 Erasmus+ Partnership Building Activity in Italy 📖 Myths, Storytelling and Cultural Heritage for Youth Workers 🏛️

"Stories connect people. Heritage inspires communities. Cooperation creates the future." Tell Me the Story, or Cuntami lu Cuntu, is an Erasmus+ KA153 Partnership Building Activity that brings together youth workers to explore ancient myths, storytelling, cultural heritage and creative education as tools for inclusion, cooperation and youth work. It takes place in Trapani, Sicily, and it is a space to build lasting partnerships across borders while rediscovering the power of the stories that shape our communities.

✨ About the Project

Tell Me the Story is a mobility of youth workers under Erasmus+ KA153. The project brings youth workers together around myths, storytelling, cultural heritage and creative education, using them as practical tools for inclusion, cooperation and youth work. Its visual identity is built around goddesses of continuity and protection: Rhea, primordial goddess of generational continuity and survival, Dali, spirit goddess of nature, protection and life continuity, and Temethia, the flamingo goddess.
