Multilingual Folklore as a Tool for Promoting Cultural Sensitivity

Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world marked by cultural plurality and linguistic diversity, the need for intercultural understanding and sensitivity has become more urgent than ever. Folklore, as a repository of collective memory, cultural values, moral codes, and social experiences, plays a crucial role in shaping cultural identity. When folklore emerges from multiple linguistic traditions, it becomes a powerful medium for fostering cross-cultural dialogue and empathy.
