Fairy-tale planet: readapting geo-myths for primary school children to expand the knowledge of the Earth.

Since when together with A. Negrete we theorized the efficaciousness of using geo-myths in a classroom for Earth education purposes (Lanza, T. &Negrete, A. 2007) we have experimented the use of them in different science narratives context. We have used geo-myths in science theatre experiences (Lanza, T. et al 2014), including open-air museum (Lanza, T. 2014). More recently, we have involved scholars of secondary schools for readapting myths and transforming them in fairy-tales for primary school children (Lanza,T.& D’Addezio, G. 2021). The students came from the Classical high school and for this reason they had a suitable background for our purposes. At the same time, it was an opportunity for them to learn about the geology of the area where they live and to pass it on to the little ones through their work.   At present we have a repertory of five fairy –tales that we use during outreach events. The next step will be to involve students from Art high schools to illustrate the content in an original way in anticipation of future editorial products for primary school teachers.
