stories & learning
• Let me tell you a story… • Narration is a powerful way to convey knowledge and
stimulate learning [Egan, 1986; Bruner, 1990].
• Informal education: – Stories are a key instrument
• Formal education – Stories are used only in some spaces – Common in pre-primary and primary education – It disappears in “serious education”, excep for case studies

storytelling
• Storytelling is the art of creating good stories well told [McKee, 1997]
• Creating a story is a powerful learning process, at least as much as telling stories – Studying the subject – Forging language – Achieving communication – Etc…
• This is not very much used in education, with some exception – Creative writing has only recently become a recognized
academic subject

digital storytelling
• DS is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling [Leslie Rule, 2008]
• Storytelling empowered by digital media: – Images, audio, motion, etc. – Technical features + expressive languages
• DS has been promoted in social projects – Center for Digital Storytelling [Lambert, 2012] – Digital Storytelling for Development [Botturi, Bramani & Corbino, in
press]

summary
• It works! • Why?
– The story is the core – The narration activity is the engine – Digital media is a catalyzer
• (Digital) storytelling is a rich and multi-faceted activity, – It can become a resource in intergenerational storytelling in
many different ways – It requires more exploration and more careful observation
