Proverbs Treasure


Proverbs Treasure is a section of Childhood Chronicles Project launched by students from Duiliu Zamfirescu School, in Focsani, Romania. 

It is known that the proverb is a short, traditional saying that expresses some obvious truth or familiar experience.

We invite the participants to write short stories inspired by a proverb or a saying. The story can be also the result of an interview of relatives or other adults of the community. The participants can submit local or famous stories retold by themselves, adding as conclusion an adequate proverb.

The main goal of Proverbs Treasure is to preserve national culture, to understand the other cultures of Europe and the world and to incorporate the traditional oral knowledge in education, internationally shared.
