Every pixel tells a story

Every single human being has a unique personal history based on their experience, thoughts and feelings. To share those stories with others can be a powerful tool, changing the attitudes and inspiring both sides – those who listen to the stories and those who tell them.

The proposed Training Course aims at bringing European youth workers together and teach them what digital storytelling is and how they can use it as a tool for working with young people with diverse cultural and/or migration background. During the project the participants will go through an intensive set of workshops giving them a chance to learn how to create their own digitalized stories. We believe that learning by doing will provide a deeper understanding of the method and therefore serve as an inspiration for creating similar projects in participants own communities.

Objectives:

- To provide participants with knowledge about the digital storytelling method and its possible benefits for youth work
- To equip them with skills necessary to design digital storytelling projects in their own communities
- To enhance participants ICT skills and encourage them to use open source technologies in their daily youth work
- To establish a network of like-minded organizations and individuals, who are interested in the further exchange on the topic of using digital methods for working with youth
- To develop follow-up projects using the skills and knowledge gained during this Training Course
