Panama, September 21 2020 -A number of stories and legends will be told by children and boys from the Children's and Young Oral Circle and Héctor Collado at the "Intercultural Festivals and Legends of Panama" that will be held virtual from September 22 to September 29, about the week of the book, through social networks of the Ministry of Culture.

 

The children of this collective will tell stories from the collection of "They say so" and "Thus told me," that they are beautiful legends and tales of our native peoples Kuna, Ngäbe, Wounaan, Afro-Antillanes and national folklore literature.
