ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ

The aim of this project is to explore the positive aspects of European cultural diversity and how it can be
promoted through intercultural learning. It will provide participants with competencies in using two innovative
methods of studying cultural diversity – music and storytelling.
Music and the art of telling stories are the only universal language promoting reading, creativity,
comprehension and a mean through which our cultures can be translated to the others (who do not speak
the same language as us). With this project we want to address all of these issues directly, promoting music
and storytelling not only as tools but also as means of intercultural learning. The project idea came directly
from young people who, upon their experiences in participation in international projects abroad, reflected on
the importance of national stories and of the music, and a surprising lack of its conscious use of both of them
as educational tools when studying about cultural diversity and intercultural learning. The project combines
the ‘old’ with the ‘new’. Whereas storytelling is one of the oldest (and unfortunately forgotten) methods of
exploring diversity (fortunately still very much present in the UK!) music always seems to remain to be the
area of expertise of young people. The project will therefore address both sets of tools exploring their
varieties as well as empowering participants to be their educational ambassadors.
The course will provide participants with competencies in using storytelling as a tool of exploration of cultural
diversity and of intercultural education. The project will promote storytelling as a universal educational tool –
participants will not only learn about the principles of storytelling, but will also show them how they
themselves can adapt stories from various corners of Europe, from various periods or cultures for
educational purposes. Methods here will be based on stories, the art of telling them, the importance of words
and their contexts. Activities will be based on non-formal education and will actively involve all of the
participants. All participants will be actively co-facilitating numerous sessions – they are the storytellers after
all!
