The document outlines a project called "La Route des Fables" or "The Route of Tales" which aims to have groups of children from different countries exchange traditional tales from their cultures. The project organizers will travel the world visiting schools and having the children of each country perform a tale received from the previous country visited. In this way, the tales will complete a "world tour" as they are passed from children in one nation to the next. The project seeks to develop cultural understanding and children's creative skills through September 2012 to April 2013.
