Storytelling Applied to Training
Start date: Nov 1, 2012,
T-Story intends to promote a wider use of the Storytelling and Digital Storytelling in education and training at all levels (formal, non-formal and informal) throughout Europe by developing a digital course for educators, teachers and trainers, in 8 different languages (EN, PT, PL, RO, EL, IT, NL, ES).Storytelling is an innovative pedagogical approach that has the potential to engage learners in student-centered learning, and improve the learning outcomes across the curriculum. It enhances learner’s motivation, providing them with a learning environment conducive for communication, reflection, construction, and collaboration.When combined with the latest technologies, storytelling has the potential to be used in all setting, including formal, non-formal and informal education settings as well as work environment. T-Story will deliver key storytelling and ICT competences to teachers/educators/trainers by using digital storytelling technique – learn storytelling through storytelling.The target groups will have the opportunity to learn and train how to implement the technique and how to engage students/trainees taking advantage of the digital potential.The immediate objectives of the project are:• To involve teachers/trainers/educators in a survey to identify training needs regarding key storytelling competences and ICT skills; • To identify good practices from successful storytelling educational projects, especially those supported in Digital Storytelling;• To elaborate a Learning Handbook to support trainers delivering training through storytelling;• To promote, in 7 countries, 7 Pilot Training Sessions in order to generate feedback and fine-tune the training materials developed;• To perform several valorisation actions to maximize the impact of the project activities and the outcomes among the target groups, improving the sustainability of the final products and results.
