Folklore help!
Hi people of Reddit, I’m currently doing an art project on folklore and need some help. My idea is that my final piece is going to be a map of Europe but instead of places it will be designed like the folklore I’ve studied.
This is where you come in!
I need people from places in Europe to help. I want to have authentic folklore story’s that you grew up with, I can look online but I want to be as close as I can.
Country’s/ areas I need:
Spain/ Portugal
Germany/ Belgium/ Netherlands/Switzerland/ Austria
Italy
Slovenia/ Croatia/ Bosnia/ Serbia/ Montenegro/ Albania/ North Macedonia/ Kosovo/ Bulgaria
Poland/ Estonia/ Latvia/ Lithuania
Belarus/ Ukraine / Moldova
Russia
Turkey/ Cyprus
Norway/ Sweden/ Finland
Iceland
Question I know I’m going to have:
“Why are so many countries grouped together, they have there own identity and cultures” / “ Why are some countries by themselves?” / other
I know that, but I also know that in my studies so far folklore tends to be in surrounding country’s.
I can’t possibly do all the country’s and I need to simplify it as mush as possible. This list is based off location and proximity it each other. I apologise if this upsets you.
Or leave suggestions of YouTube videos or channel that cover the topics
