This workshop (organised with active participation of the BantUGent team at Ghent University) will bring together scholars and researchers working on the comparative study of Niger-Congo languages.

The focus is on oral folktales. These stories follow a familiar pattern: they often begin with a peaceful setting —“ Once upon a time…” — but soon introduce a problem. There might be a famine, a monster causing harm, or a small animal trying to outsmart a larger one. In each case, a crisis is presented. As the story unfolds, the problem is resolved, and the tale usually ends on a hopeful note: “And they lived happily ever after.”

This structure makes folktales a powerful way to reflect on real-life challenges and social issues.
