This educational programme introduces children to the fascinating world of the Goblins, the mischievous creatures of Cypriot folk tradition. Participants discover the legends surrounding these mythical beings and learn about the customs and beliefs through which people sought to protect themselves from their playful tricks.
Through drama, role-play and storytelling activities, children transform into Goblins, create their own short stories and bring scenes inspired by Cypriot folklore to life. At the same time, they become familiar with words and expressions from the Cypriot dialect associated with traditional customs and the everyday life of earlier generations.
The programme concludes with a creative art workshop, where participants design and construct their own Goblin using a variety of materials and artistic techniques, combining elements of Cypriot folk tradition with their own imagination.
