Narratives: From proverbs to fairy tales (pt.3) | 15 June 2024, 17:00

There are some proverbs that we use very often in our everyday life. But do we ever wonder what the stories behind them are?

On Saturday 06.15.2024, the show “Narratives” presents the third and final part of the book “Ten Proverbs as Fairy Tales” by the author Afrouli Bersou, published by KEDROS.

The protagonists in our story are Katerina and Giorgos, two young siblings who spend their holidays in the village with their grandparents. Through Grandma’s tales, the children and with them our young and old listeners learn what the tales mean and how ten well-known proverbs were created!

Produced and presented by Maria Karagiannaki-Iona
Broadcast: Saturday 15 June 2024, 17.00-18.00 Athens time time
