\"MYSTY:How could teachers support students in acquiring digital, civic and social skills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How could we help teachers in their job to educate<\/strong> students<\/strong> to<\/strong> diversity<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Digital storytelling is a very effective tool to promote cultural diversity and intercultural skills<\/strong> both in students and in teachers.<\/p>\n

MYSTY – MyStory: Digital Storytelling Toolbox for Diversity Training in Schools<\/strong><\/a> second meeting<\/strong> took place from 21st<\/sup> to 23rd<\/sup> May in Graz<\/strong> (Austria).<\/p>\n

After long months of preparation focusing on how to introduce digital storytelling in the various school involved, we had the opportunity to participate in the presentation of digital stories created by the students<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Universitaet Graz<\/a>, Graz International Bilingual School<\/a> pupils bared their emotions<\/strong> by telling very personal stories using digital tools. The content of the stories<\/strong> was perfectly focused on the purpose of presenting diversity and experience of the others through the use of digital storytelling<\/strong>.
\nAfter intense months of work, it was exciting to see how youth aged between 13 and 16 have absorbed the instructions for creating the stories<\/strong>, making them pure moments of sharing of topics like their families, traditions and culinary habits. <\/strong><\/p>\n

These stories will guide other European students who will work on the creation of their stories in the coming months, also using the advices of their peers on how to create a digital story with specific computer tools and copyright. To give continuity to this work, students will create a Guide that will be available on the MYSTY website<\/a>.
\nThe next meeting will take place in Palermo from 19 to 21 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MYSTY<\/a> is funded by the Erasmus + program – Key Action 2: Strategic Partnerships Schools<\/strong> and aims to create innovative tools for pupils and teachers \u2013 specifically, digital storytelling \u2013 to share and introduce such teaching practice to enhance awareness on diversity within the school environment.<\/p>\n

The project partnership holds together 8 organisations:<\/p>\n
