Narrate, recite and sing folk literature: a contribution to the culture of peace

Abstract

This essay reflects on the importance of working in the classroom with folk literature - the literature of oral tradition that is transmitted from generation to generation - as a way to incorporate the approach and cultural heritage of different peoples and nationalities. This incorporation, in turn, is a commitment to the culture of peace, because through the inclusion of other voices, often silenced, will achieve a better understanding be­tween people.
