The aim of the project is to improve the literacy skills of children aged 5-10 years old by helping teachers to use storytelling for more effective and inclusive teaching
STORIAS (2021-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000029483) is a collaboration between six European partners:
24 StoriasKits, with ready-to-use kits made to stimulate and engage pupil’s imagination and creativity.
24 participatory stories, used to increase performance and writing skills in classrooms.
A pedagogical guide on the different pedagogical outcomes of the practices created by the partners, with an additional section on how to approach literacy from an inclusive and adapted perspective.
A creation manual to provide teachers and educators a step by step process of the tools necessary to implement and create their own storiaskits or participatory stories.
An implementation guide will explain the different steps taken by the consortium to reach its goals, as well as practical comments from teachers and other education stakeholders in the partnerships.
All these resources will be found on a website dedicated to the project and freely available in 6 languages (English, French, Italian, Greek, Polish, Romanian)
30 September, 2023 WHAT GREAT EMOTION 😍 The first pedagogical resources of our project are available -> https://storias.eu
18 September, 2023 Today we have the video recording rehearsal to explain how to use the Kamishibai!!!
13 September, 2023 Today we finished recording the video that will help to understand even better how to use this beautiful narrative tool - the STORY MAP!
17 August, 2023 Our project offers 24 stories! 12 stories are retellings of fairy tales, myths and legends. The other 12, on the other hand, are true biographies of historical figures from the history of various countries. This second cycle of tales is intended to provide a cue for teachers, as the same narrative tools will be created for them too, to show a different way of how history can be "told". Real historical events and characters thus become the protagonists of a Story Box or perhaps a Silent Book Theatre! A different, playful and innovative approach to offer an extra opportunity to those who dedicate themselves to teaching every day and want to give their students not just notions but a love of knowledge, the joy and fun of learning something more!
16 August, 2023 Our project has a section dedicated to handwriting to raise awareness but also to promote this important educational and didactic form. As today is World Calligraphy Day, we feel it is our duty to share it with you all. Happy calligraphy day to everyone!
