Folklore storytelling

Folklore storytelling involves sharing traditional stories, myths, legends, and customs that are passed orally through generations within a community. These stories often explain natural phenomena, cultural values, historical events, or moral lessons, maintaining a sense of identity and continuity. They can include fairy tales, fables, ghost stories, and heroic tales, often featuring symbolic characters and themes. Folklore storytelling helps preserve a community’s history and beliefs, fostering social cohesion and cultural understanding. It relies on oral transmission, with storytellers adapting stories over time to keep them relevant and engaging for listeners.
