 THE ORAL TRADITIONS OF AFRICA Actually, at the time the talks started I didn’t know what or where today’s session was going. But, after hearing several testimonials, I found them very interesting.      I have noticed that the culture of different regions of Africa is somehow related to Basque culture. As a child, I was told that stories have always been transmitted orally, and now I have just learned that they are also repeated in many African countries.      I have also noticed that we share many proverbs, as in many other languages; although, of course, we say it in other words.

We decided to narrate the story and let the other students participate and create still images to present individual parts. We think it could be an interesting way to involve the pupils into the story and give them a chance to think about feeling expressions of the characters of the story. https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/pre/pre04.htm from page 71 THRYMSKVITHA In the story of the second myth Loki helps Thor to get back his lost hammer. In that case Paul was narrating the whole story because he knows a lot about Norse mythology and is comfortable with a lot of its stories. The other members of our group went through the story in roles creating still images based on what was told at the moment. https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe11.htm
