Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Folktales, passed down from generation to generation, convey and preserve the cultural knowledge, the beliefs, values, and customs of the cultures that they come from. They are like windows into each community, often dealing with universal problems and ideas but tinted with their own cultural viewpoints. We also talk about how folk tales and folklore can tell a great deal about the values and views of a culture and serve as a means to understand one another and connect to each other. Meet some of our diverse Florida folk and their communities through their folktales and lore.
