4 digital stories in 4 days: that’s only the beginning!

Posted on by

The workshop is over, and Matteo and Isabella are very satisfied about the results. Not only in terms of the stories produced by the educators of the centre and by the 10 children involved in this pilot; but, above all, by the interactive and sharing atmosphere of the week, that enable everyone to gain the best out of it.

This is only the first step, now the ANSMH centre in Samambaia will twin with the Orsoline Primary School in Como, Italy to create together a intercontinental story! Stay tuned, to know about the development of this new adventure, and in the meanwhile enjoy the Samambaia stories:

Inizia il corso

Posted on by

Stamattina è iniziato il corso introduttivo alla creazione di storie multimediali qui al Centro di Samambaia.

Dopo un’introduzione di Isabella riguardante le storie e cosa ne caratterizza il successo o meno, gli educatori del Centro hanno avuto modo di scrivere la loro storia (a partire da una frase iniziale data).

Rilette insieme le storie, e corrette, sono poi state riportate su Word con l’aiuto di Matteo.

Eccole qui di seguito. Sono in portoghese, ma con un piccolo sforzo si capiscono ugualmente:

Domani mattina continueremo la formazione con gli educatori, e nel pomeriggio arriveranno i bambini per iniziare un corso pilota anch’essi!!

during the project meeting

Luca and Isabella are currently in Venice for the kick-off meeting of the ALICE LLP project. It is about digital arts for intergenerational learning. The project is led by the University of Venice, with partners from IT, GR, UK, RO… and seed!

The meeting was effective, and the main projects lines have been nailed down.

Next steps for seed: developing an online unit on digital storytelling, and preparing the next project meeting in Lugano, on May 2-4 2012

By the way, Venice is great when not in the high tourist season! We had a very nice dinner at a kosher restaurant in the Ghetto, enjoying songs for a marriage!
