In a time of rapid social change and increasing diversity, empowering
educators and marginalized groups is more crucial than ever. This project, focused
on adult education, aims to provide tools and methodologies to enhance the skills of
educators and the lives of adults in fragile and marginalized contexts. Through
storytelling, we seek to promote empowerment, cultural understanding, and
innovative educational practices across Europe.
The primary objective is to support and enhance the work of adult educators.
Storytelling is a powerful tool for empowerment. By engaging marginalized adults in
this practice, we foster self-confidence, creativity, and active citizenship, helping
individuals express themselves and connect with broader cultural narratives. Our
commitment also extends to developing a shared European methodology for using
storytelling in adult education. To support these initiatives, we are developing
practical tools, including an e-book and a digital platform, providing educators and
learners with easy access to a wealth of stories and educational materials.
Simultaneously, our project involves collecting and rewriting traditional stories from
various European countries. These stories are carefully selected and rewritten to
highlight diverse cultural values and competencies, thus creating a rich repository of
narratives. A storytelling card game will also be designed to make storytelling
interactive and engaging as an educational tool. This game will facilitate learning in a
fun way, making the storytelling experience more interactive for learners. Finally,
workshops will be organized in partner countries, involving adult educators and
target groups in storytelling activities. These workshops aim to share methodologies
and tools, fostering collaboration and empowerment among participants.
The project is based on fundamental values such as resilience, equality,
creativity, self-confidence, active citizenship, democracy, and social inclusion. These
values guide our efforts to create an inclusive and stimulating educational
environment. In terms of expected results, the project aims to strengthen soft skills,
such as communication, empathy, and critical thinking. It also introduces innovative
practices in adult education, especially for marginalized groups. By enhancing the
capabilities of partner organizations and staff, the project promotes empowerment
and cultural understanding across Europe, contributing to a more inclusive and
resilient society.
