European Dimension
In this course we promote the use of storytelling techniques as an ideal tool for value transmitting and social and cultural participation.
Participatory techniques such as
-connecting with oneself, a story and the other,
-transferring and sharing images,
-using metaphors and archetypes,
-being able to empathize with others,
-daring to express oneself,
-installing interaction,
-reflecting together
etc. are all part of storytelling and as such offer the right ingredients to go with European values such as democracy, inclusion, sustainability, equality...
