Storytelling is at the heart of what it means to be human. As Yuval Noah Harari notes in Sapiens, our ability to cooperate on a large scale is rooted in the myths and stories we share. Across cultures and generations, stories have preserved memories, recorded experiences, and shaped our collective identity; sometimes carrying knowledge for thousands of years, as seen in Aboriginal Australian tales that recount ancient sea level changes.

Lingotell is a people-centred, forward-looking project dedicated to transforming how we value and manage stories as part of our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is to empower the storytelling traditions of minority and indigenous languages in Europe, ensuring these voices remain vibrant contributors to our continent’s future.
