One World, Many Stories

Zappala Campus Center Square

Thursday, November 19, 2026

11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Do you have a famous folk hero, mythical creature, legendary figure, or beloved character from your culture? We invite you to share one or more traditional stories about this character, explain what they represent, and tell us why their stories continue to be remembered and celebrated in your country.

Come share a story, celebrate your heritage, and help us discover how many different stories can bring one world together!

Want to share a story with us?  Please email us at international@laroche.edu by Friday, November 13th, with the following information:

  • Your full name
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • Country or cultural background represented by your story
  • Name of the legendary character you would like to share
  • We ask that participants create a small poster or display board featuring their legendary character and the stories associated with them. Your display should include your country’s name, the character’s name, and any interesting facts, traditional stories, pictures, or information about the character’s history and cultural significance.
  • Need a poster board? We would be happy to provide one! Just let us know when you respond.

Whether your character is a legendary hero, a mysterious creature, or a figure from an ancient tale, we would love to learn about the stories that make your culture unique.

Come share a story, celebrate your heritage, and help us discover how many different stories can bring one world together!
