We position ourselves at the intersection of academia, fieldwork, creative story-telling and community engagement. Our aim is not just to collect or preserve stories, but to reimagine folklore preservation as a collaborative and evolving process, consciously ethical in its nature, that reflects the diversity of lived experiences today.

This compendium maps the historical evolution of folklore studies, examines international and local preservation models, and engages with emerging critical questions about power, representation and technology. Through this text, we begin to chart a roadmap for prospective CCF’s work:

One that prioritises critical reflection.
