Project youthfolklore.com

The main result of the project is youthfolklore.com. This website creates not only an online space for learning, inspiration and networking but also encourages live initiatives whenever it is possible. The project and its primary outcome – online platform youthfolklore.com serves both: young people and professionals working with them associated with various organisations such as folklore bands and ensembles, dance groups, cultural organisations, and people passionate about world folklore. It is full of inspirational stories, tips and guidelines, workshop scenarios and resources for nonformal activities.
What can be found on the website:
- Articles on folklore from Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Hungary
- Youth Work in folklore ensembles
- Facilitating learning in folklore groups
- Nonformal education resources for working with youth
- Working in the time of COVID in the form of interviews with folklore practicionaries (folk instructors, youth workers)
- The benefit of being part of a folklore band – stories of youth
- Examples of folklore projects
- How to apply for Erasmus+ grant
- Folklore and business – how to create a folklore-related business, how to get an idea, and examples of successful business ideas.
Although the website was created in the Youth Sector, we believe that its content can be useful in the Adult Sector. We encourage institutions working with adults (especially those related to folklore, but not only!) to read the articles on the website.
