Digital Storytelling „The Europe of our lives“Strategic partnership for adult education

In this project, different institutions from the Euro-pean Union will work together to incorporate the technique of digital storytelling into the teaching of curriculum content and to create, produce, share and exchange a series of digital stories about rele-vant issues.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OFTHE PROJECT?

• to further promote our students’ skills for perso-nal, social and career development by teaching digital story telling techniques

• to enhance multiculturalism and multilingualism

• to use digital storytelling as means of expression and for personal and social communication

• to establish digital storytelling as a new teaching method

• to use digital storytelling techniques to express our inner world, our desires and aspirations, as well as the main conflicts in our current society

ACTIVITIES:

1. Learning Mobility

The workshops in England and Poland include:

• Learn the basics about digital storytelling

• Video editing Workshops

• Sound editing Workshops

• Photography Workshops

• Create your own story

2. Teaching Guide:

In the Teaching Guide we will explain all the steps necessary to motivate our students to tell stories in a digital way. It will include Teaching Strategies and description of the whole process we have worked in the class-room to produce digital storytelling with our students.

We aim at other teachers to get to know the powerful educational tools of Digital Sto-rytelling and to encourage them to use its techniques in the classroom. We want to ad-vise and guide them through this Teaching Guide. In this sense the potencial transfera-bility can be very high.

WHAT IS DIGITAL STORYTELLING? EVERYONE HAS A STORY.We tell our stories in the form of short fi lms and use digital tools to produce them.

The main features of this technique are:• the view of the author/narrator: personal and di-

rect• Dramatic Question: raise one or more questions

about what will happen• Emotional Content• the Power of the soundtrack
