Storytelling for Global Change

11-19 August 2019

"Storytelling for Global Change" is an Erasmus+ KA1 training course that combines stories, media, global education and active citizenship to empower trainers, educators, youth workers and give them better tools to do their work in these fast changing times.

We worked with 24 participants from 12 partner organisations from Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and United Kingdom.

The objectives:

- to inform and reflect on current trends in MEDIA (including fake news) and how to be critical users and creators of content - contrasting the spreading of violence, extremism and hate speech;
- to explore the use of STORYTELLING in youth work, education and for creation of positive media image of diversity groups
- to introduce current concepts of GLOBAL EDUCATION, learn more about poverty, inequality and climate change, to challenge some of the complex development issues that face local and global communities
- to establish PARTNERSHIPS between organisations working with diversity, storytelling and global education and exchange good practices.
