Tricksters exist in the myths and folktales of cultures around the world. Tricksters are mysterious, fascinating, funny and - just sometimes - evil. It is incredible that trickster tales developed across all continents of the world, and in this class, we will get to meet many of them. We will get to go deep into what it means to be a trickster. We will see why they are important, and what role they play in culture. We will compare tricksters cross-culturally, looking at how each story...
8 lessons//8 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Western Europe: Faeries, Changelings and 'Long Flag'Using stories from the British Isles, Belgium and across Western Europe, we explore the unusual tricks of the fairies. They are very much not the Disney fairies ... it is much weirder than that. We also learn about Lange Wapper, a Flemish trickster hero.Week 2Lesson 2Ancient Greek Tricksters: Hermes, Eris, DionysusWe dive deep into Greek Mythology, looking at Hermes - the most famous of the Greek trickster gods- as well as looking at some others who might also be called tricksters. Expect tortoises to be turned into musical instruments.Week 3Lesson 3The Trickster Teacher of the Islamic World: Mulla NasruddinThis lesson is focused on the wonderful figure of Mulla Nasruddin/Nasredin/Hodja, whose stories are found in Turkey, Iraq, along the Silk Road, and across the Islamic world. Mulla Nasruddin is known as the Wise Fool, and we will enact some of his short stories and lessons. The stories of Nasruddin manage to be silly and inspiring in equal measure.Week 4Lesson 4The Webs of West Africa: Anansi the SpiderWe look at the many stories of Anansi/Ananse, which are told worldwide, and especially in the mythologies and storytelling cultures of West Africa and the Caribbean. Anansi manages to always get what Anansi wants, with smarts, deception and a very healthy appetite.Week 5Lesson 5The Tricksters of Japan: Tanuki, Kitsune, JiraiyaWe travel to Japan, where we meet some strange and wonderful tricksters, including Tanuki, who will share his life lessons with us. In learrning about the kitsune, we will introduce the world mythologies of foxes.Week 6Lesson 6Fox Pranx: Medieval French TrickeryThis lesson focuses on Reynard the Fox, whose exploits were at one time one of the most popular stories in Europe. How does the lowly Fox manage to use his cunning to outsmart and outmanouevre the whole of the animal kingdom. Lots of acting in this one.Week 7Lesson 7Meet the Modern TrickstersIn this lesson, we move to the modern day and explore what tricksters might look like in our modern world and in real life. We explore famous characters from animation, games and fiction, and consider whether these characters fit the definition as tricksters. We look at artists and their relationship with tricksterdom.Week 8Lesson 8Learning Lessons from the TrickstersIn this final lesson, we are visited by none other than LOKI, who invites us to reflect on his army of tricksters. We ask what we can learn from the tricksters - whilst we might not want to become Tanuki or Mulla Nasruddin, do they have valuable life lessons that we could draw upon? There is a VERY DRAMATIC SECRET revealed at the end.
Students will deepen their knowledge of the anthropological concept of the Trickster They will learn about the similarities and differences between tales from a range of world mythologies They will develop the skills of self-reflection, applying the stories to their own lives
I am a primary-trained teacher with 11 years experience. I work in UK schools as a specialist mythology and poetry educator, and have 2+ years experience teaching rich, intellectual and accessible mythology lessons on Outschool. My experience as a specialist educator enables me to confidently and skilfully manage the complex dynamics of rich, discussion-based classes with mixed-age and mixed-ability groups.

Mythology often invites open and reflective discussion about big universal themes, such as life and death. Tales often have violent edge to them. As I do in all of my classes, I use my 11+ years of professional judgement to frame the lessons in ways that feel safe and fully age-appropriate.
