Ancient Kasimov - a window into the world of Andersen's fairy tales

Here is a unique program for children and adults, which will not only introduce you to the amazing city, where the historical appearance of the provincial merchant town of the XIX century has been preserved until now, but will also help you plunge into a fairy tale, take part in unforgettable adventures and, finally, become real storytellers!

Note to parents:
How can we sometimes miss a fairy tale in life! A fairy tale absorbs and preserves in itself folk wisdom, universal values ​​and ideals. It is known that with the help of certain psychological mechanisms it affects the development of the child. The child easily takes the position of a fairy-tale hero and tries to overcome the obstacles that stand in his way, identifies himself with him, thereby learning from him.

Tales of H. H. Andersen are not just fairy tales for reading, they are eternal human values, this is a whole world that remains with a person for life. The city of Kasimov is a picturesque place in the Ryazan Territory, where A.V. Hanzen was born as a girl, Vasilyeva, who introduced children and adults to the tales of G.Kh. Andersen. The name A.V. Gansen begins to occupy the place that it rightfully should occupy. Her creativity brings good and light.
The goal of our project is through the tales of H.H. Andersen in the translation of A.V. Gansen to educate the participants in a good attitude towards others, to be attentive, responsive, to distinguish good from evil, to arouse imagination and simply treat the child’s vulnerable soul from stress.
