The activity began with the introduction of four key figures from Catalan mythology: the dragon, the lion, the eagle, and the cucafera. Students learned vocabulary related to their physical characteristics and the emotions these imaginary beings evoke. Participants were also encouraged to reflect on monsters, demons, and fantastical beings from different countries, including Catalonia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Nigeria, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic.
The session highlighted similarities across various mythologies. It was noted that in Argentina, there is a figure similar to the 'boogeyman', known as "el hombre de la bolsa". Just as Catalonia has the dragon of Banyoles or Scotland the Loch Ness Monster, Patagonia has a legendary creature in Lake Nahuel Huapi. The Dominican Republic contributes the Diablo Cajuelo, and Venezuela, the figure of La Llorona.
The event was highly participatory, allowing attendees to gain new knowledge about the cultural richness and diverse mythological traditions worldwide. The overall feedback was very positive, and there is consideration for repeating the activity.
