Children in German kindergartens to be taught Arabic fairy tales and songs

Children from a number of kindergartens in Dresden will be required to listen to Arabic fairy tales and songs

Children in kindergartens across Dresden in Germany will be required to listen to Arabic songs and fairy tales, thanks to a program supported by the "Erzählraum" association, which has received funding from the German government.

“We don't give language classes, but we want to promote the multilingualism of the Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia cultural area. These include, among others, the German, Sorbian, Polish, Czech, Russian, English, Syrian-Arabic and many other languages," wrote the association in a statement.

According to Das Bild, the German government in Saxony is funding the project this year with €17,000, with the person responsible for the project receiving another €6,000 from a cultural association known as Kulturraum Oberlausitz-Niederlesien.
