StoryDeC – Storytelling to Develop Civic Competences in Young People

StoryDeC objectives
The StoryDeC project aims to create educational activities and tools, to develop social and civic competences of young people. These activities and tools will be based on autobiographical methodologies, participatory video and digital storytelling.
The choice of these methodologies is linked to different factors:
– the storytelling methodologies are a powerful educational tool to activate learnings, reflections, empathy, and enhance social and civic competences;
– storytelling through digital media is an educational approach that combines ICT and creativity, to actively involve young people.
Through these methodologies, and the educational tools and paths created by StoryDeC project, young people can:
– explore, in a personal way, the issues of participation and social change;
– develop, through the voice of other people, the knowledge of important aspects of the society and of the recent history at national, European and international level, to develop critical knowledge, and encourage active participation in the community;
– develop a series of key competences, such as the ability to create texts and narratives, the ability to use ICT tools;
– enhance civic and social skills.
