WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

Comundos


Description

What kind of education do we want to realize that simultaneously develops critical thinking, collaboration, creative development, innovation, flexibility and communication? How can we enable efficient learning within and outside the school context in this world of increasing complexity and global challenges? Comundos wants to influence education (mostly in the southern hemisphere) with digital storytelling for didactics, making use of analysis and reflection on the context and environment of young people. We give train-de-trainer workshops in which we teach young people the techniques of storytelling, as well as the technology to digitize and disseminate those stories, and to deal strategically and critically with new media carriers. In an investigative and participative way we discover the power of storytelling together with educators and young people.
