📢 The project “The Little Humpbacked Horse Unites the World” is dedicated to the 210th anniversary of the author of The Little Humpbacked Horse, Pyotr Pavlovich Ershov.

Dear Friends!

The Peter Pavlovich Ershov Foundation is launching a new project – “The Little Humpbacked Horse Unites the World”! 🌍📖

📢 This project is dedicated to the 210th anniversary of the author of The Little Humpbacked Horse – Pyotr Pavlovich Ershov.

🎥 The goal of the project is to create a video film where children from different nations, dressed in national costumes, read excerpts from The Little Humpbacked Horse in their native language. Each reading will be set against the backdrop of a national symbol – a landmark, flag, or cultural object of their country.

In the end, this will form a complete fairy tale, confirming the author’s prophecy that the Little Humpbacked Horse still gallops across the world, bringing people together! 🌏✨

The P.P. Ershov Foundation will send participants lines from the fairy tale to be read in their national language and featured in the video film.
