Objective
Main goal of this project is to transfer to digital format one part of the European cultural heritage, relating to folktales. Folktales are very rich in extensive European regions, some of them have crossed frontiers for centuries, and they have been an object of numerous collections in the past, besides having been a study subject of anthropologists and folklorists. Unfortunately, a large part of this patrimony is unknown, apart from the dozen common tales known to the modern media like cinema and television. To diffuse this patrimony, in the present age, consists in transforming its format: to pass from the text in such a way as to secure the oral tradition on which the stories are based, to the multimedia technology in which is combined the original speech, the writing, even the graphics and the animation. To diffuse the patrimony also means to facilitate the reading or the hearing in various languages, in such a way that stories may be seen and listened to as much in the original language as the user's one. Tales will be tranformed according to narrative criterias, aesthetics and of interaction with the user (families with children from 6 to 10 years old). The production plan of the project is to make a series of tales, in 6 European languages and to achieve an ample distribution. Titles will be in in a multi platform CD-ROM sold at a low price. A shortened version of the tale, even the games, will be put in its own domain of Internet, commercially free. This way of access will let potential users evalluate the interest before buying the CD-ROM based title, and will also carry information on new titles, advice and help about those already published, and general information about the field of European popular culture (only in spoken or written stories).
