Improving competences

The words that best describe the digital curricular story

Strengths - Internal the organisationCompetences of the facilitators well balanced in terms of organisation, facilitation.Shared activities between the facilitators of the storytelling activitiesParticipants felt to belong to a group, despite their different personalities Shared vision between facilitators of the activitiesWell structured method High involvement of participants since they felt at the centre of the process and had the chance to test their creativity

Weaknesses - internal the organisation Management of the technical session: More time, more time to give advices on the use of photos, copyright More time to explain the aim of a digital curricular story Different level of expertise of participants (time consuming for the facilitator)

Opportunities - internal the organisation Including the self entrepreneurs as potential target group to tell their own company Strengthening the deep motivations as well as the increasing the ability of self-expression

Threats - external the organisation difficulty in finding participants; possible initial resistance to tell and share personal stories; need to develop further the theme of “how you are going to use” the product created - likely to restraint in an individual sphere (yet always useful) face the possibility that there is not a real interest of companies about this tool

Good method to improve competences

Importance of the storytelling approach for self evaluation and validation

Be clear on what is the aim of a digital curricular

story: itʼs a good tool to present yourself

Need more familiarity with the method to master it and so to use it to find a job

HOW can we strengthen the method? !

!May we ask Human

Resources department?!!

Someone else?!

Let’s watch some stories…

… together!!!
