Folklore generally refresh to the body of material, in a variety of forms, that expresses the traditions of a particular culture .There is no clear cut definition of the term �Folklore� mainly because academics of different disciplines study the same material from completely separate perspective .Scholars of literature focus primarily on structures, narrative style, of a culture . Thus the founder of French folkloristic study, Arnold van Gennaep, believed folklore was the key to understanding the creative force within small groups of societies. Both paradigms raise the questions of whether folklore can be viewed as a common phenomenon and therefore broken into broad categories, or as specific cultural artifacts of a given society. The first Folklore Fellows� Summer School was held according to plan at the Turku Christian Institute under the auspices of Turku University during July 29, and August 14, 1991. This was the globalism of folklore research, Never before had so many nations from all over the world met each other on such a relatively small course. This document stresses the inherent value and importance of folklore in the cultures of the world. Advanced scholars and institutions take part in what becomes a forum for gathering available experience for the formulation of basic principles for modern folklore work in the global sense, i.e. without regional, national or other limitations.
