Legends and Fables of East Timor: A Journey into the Imagination
The stories passed down through generations in East Timor transport us to a time when nature, animals, and people lived in perfect harmony. These stories form a rich collection of fables and legends that reflect the imagination of the Timorese people. They offer brief glimpses into the cultural legacy where people and nature communicated effortlessly.
Project Background
This unique collection emerged from the efforts of Timorese teachers during a Portuguese language training program. The course was delivered via videoconferencing, connecting the Universidade Aberta in Lisbon with the Distance Learning Center in Dili. Driven by their enthusiasm and reflection on the Portuguese language, these teachers shaped the stories originally handed down in Tetum and other local languages. Their dedication has made these orally transmitted stories accessible to a wider audience.
