European diplomats in the role of storytellers
Baku/25.08.21/Turan: The European Union Delegation to Azerbaijan is delighted to present the “European Fairy Tales” project. Within this social project, the Delegation translated into the Azerbaijani language fairy-tales and legends from 27 European Union Member States. The collection of fairy tales printed as a colourful book will be distributed among children in various orphanages, shelters as well as children libraries across the country.
This book will help children in Azerbaijan to learn about different nations of Europe, discover their roots and traditions as well as European values.
Blighted by countless wars, Europe of today strives for peace. That peace starts from understanding each other, respecting any differences, finding similarities and advancing cooperation. May this book help on a noble path towards a bright and peaceful future.
To introduce a wider public to the magic world of European fairy-tales, along with the print version, the EU Delegation jointly with Embassies of EU Member States also prepared video versions of the fairy-tales narrated by Ambassadors and other representatives of the Embassies and dubbed in the Azerbaijani language by professional actors.
The video-tales will be released daily on the Delegation’s facebook page starting from 25 August 2021.
The e-version of the book in Azerbaijani language is available at the EU Delegation web-site. –16D-

In Azerbaijan, the cost of books spans a broad spectrum, typically ranging from 5 to 25 AZN ($3 to $15). Yet, with the rising cost of living, many avid readers are finding it increasingly challenging to afford their favorite titles. As a result, second-hand books, e-books, and online international orders have become popular alternatives for those seeking affordable access to literature.

In a world increasingly marred by the effects of climate change, art has emerged as an unexpected, yet powerful, platform for raising awareness and sparking conversations on environmental responsibility. One such endeavor is the exhibition "A Different Kind of Climate," currently on display at Kapellhaus with support from the Goethe-Institut. The timing of this exhibition is no coincidence, aligning with the upcoming COP29, the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Baku from November 11 to 22. The exhibition seeks to engage audiences on pressing ecological issues, blending local and international perspectives.
