Digital Storytelling as self representation and social/civic agency

This training scenario aims at enabling trainees to understand and manage the whole process of Digital Storytelling (DS) in educational settings.

Here Digital Storytelling is conceived as a potentially powerful means of self-representation, self-expression and civic/social agency. Hence, the training scenario is intended specifically to promote creative, media narrative and citizenship skills. The focus on media narrative skills is consistent with the National Indications for the Curriculum, particularly referring to the area of “Media and Languages”, while the emphasis on self-representation and identity construction as citizens is linked to Citizenship Education.
