Franco-German Fairy Tale Projects at Europa-Park Foster Friendship

Cross-border fairy tale projects strengthen Franco-German friendship. Students from both countries collaborated on creative projects, culminating in an event at Europa-Park.

Cooperation between MÄRCHENLAND and the Académie de Strasbourg

A binational school initiative focused on fairy tales was held at Europa-Park, organized by the European Fairy Tale Center “MÄRCHENLAND” and the Académie de Strasbourg. The project aimed to promote Franco-German friendship.

Digital Collaboration and Creative Projects

For an entire school year, classes from Truchtersheim (France) and Vaihingen an der Enz (Germany) worked digitally on various projects. A standout project was the fairy tale podcast, where fairy tales were reinterpreted and presented in podcast format. Additionally, the students learned a new repertoire of German and French children's songs, composed by Alsatian singer Nicolas Fischer.

Fairy Tale Reading and Cultural Activities at Europa-Park

At Europa-Park, a fairy tale reading with Miriam Mack took place, where students listened to the story of “The Bremen Town Musicians.” Miriam Mack, chairwoman of the European Fairy Tale Center, emphasized the importance of fairy tales for mutual understanding and language learning. She founded the European Center for Fairy Tale Culture in 2018, which has since hosted numerous cultural events.

Puzzles and Joint Singing to Strengthen Friendship

In Grimm's Fairy Tale Forest, the students solved Franco-German puzzles and finalized their podcast. For the first time, the German and French students met in person at Europa-Park and sang the anthem of cross-border cooperation, “Es lebe l’amitié, vive la Freundschaft.”

Long-standing Franco-German Relations at Europa-Park

The Mack family, operators of Europa-Park, have been committed to Franco-German friendship for nearly 50 years. Over 1,000 French employees work at the park, and more than a million French tourists visit Germany's largest amusement park annually.
