description of the project
The current context of rapid migration into Europe and its impact requires an educational response, and digital storytelling is a simple yet very effective means of fostering diversity awareness and intercultural competencies both in pupils and teachers. Digital storytelling is also an effective way to enhance digital competence of pupils and teachers. Using digital storytelling in peer to peer learning scenarios in the classroom enables students and teachers to engage with politically current and pressing issues in ways that are engaging and inclusive, whilst also dynamic and instructional.
The MYSTY project provides a means for teachers to share and embed innovative teaching practice to enhance awareness of cultural diversity. At the same time it will increase pupils’ cultural awareness and expression and enhance their social and civic competence. MYSTY will also support teacher and pupil digital competence. With a network of teachers, media and education academics, and technicians, the main objective is to create the MYSTY Digital Storytelling Toolbox.
