                    Traditional folktales constitute a powerful instrument for children’s growth, fostering learning, health, and well-being. Their rich potential offers numerous application modalities, including the collective retelling method, aimed at socio-affective education and the unfettered expression of self. This contribution presents the results of a participatory research conducted within the primary education cycle, demonstrating improvements in pupils, notably also in terms of well-being.
