This is a presentation about the ivsit in Finland in the Comenius project: Legends across Europe.

2. • We researched British Legends like Robin
Hood, King Arthur and Saint George and the
Dragon.
• We were interested in the Villainous
characters in each of these legends.
• We shared this knowledge with English classes
lower down the school, and they wrote their
own legends.
• And then…

3. • Five post-16 students and four Y9’s spent five
days in November living with a Finnish family.
• The younger students preformed an excellent
extract from Oliver Twist, while we gave
presentations on our chosen British legends.
• But it wasn’t all work; we also went
sightseeing, ice skating, bowling and
shopping.

14. …Who gave us early Christmas presents!

24. • There are villains in all of history; there will
always be people who are intrinsically evil.
• And people that are good.
• Even in the modern day there can still be
heroes and villains, just not the wielding
swords type.
• Many of the characteristics that we thought of
for our characters are possessed by the
characters in the international legends –
people have not changed.

25. • Legends are still as relevant today – they teach
us about overcoming evil and doing what you
can to help others.
• But there will always be a divide between
those that have and those that don’t. The rich
are still (unfortuntaly) seen as superior.
• Some things have changed; woman are no
longer seen as the ‘damsel in distress’ who
need rescuing by a man.
But most of all, we are all equal
