We are delighted to present our newly created audiobook, a captivating collection of 20 myths and legends recorded during the Erasmus Youth Exchange "From Legend to Reality." This unique project brings together the rich cultural heritage of four countries—Lithuania, Italy, Turkey, and Bulgaria—showcased in their national languages as well as in English.
Our audiobook features five myths and legends from each of the participating countries, providing listeners with a diverse and immersive experience of European folklore. These stories, passed down through generations, offer a glimpse into the history, values, and imagination of each culture. The project was a collaborative effort by young participants from each country, who not only recorded the stories but also played an active role in translating and adapting them for a wider audience.
- Italian Myths: Explore Italy's rich tapestry of legends, from the grandeur of Roman mythology to the charming tales of regional folklore that reveal the country's diverse heritage.
