Objectives

Despite the rapid progress of digital communications in the last few decades, access to new media tools in rural and developing areas still remains limited. Through this project and its activities, we would like to address the problem of social exclusion of youngsters from rural and isolated areas by giving them a concrete opportunity for personal and professional development. The opportunity can be offered by a specific tool which are digital storytelling and its benefits. Digital storytelling will be used as an instrument for social inclusion and social development specifically to address the problem of marginalization and lack of participation of people from rural areas and, in this field, we are oriented to the needs of young people with fewer opportunities: youngsters from rural and isolated areas; youngsters with low income and early school leavers. Thanks to a peer to peer approach youngsters from rural and isolated areas will meet to bring creative solutions to tackle current problems, therefore the solutions will be found from youngsters for youngsters. The general objective is to encourage social innovation and stimulate the active and conscious participation of young people in the life of their own territory. Specific objectives of the project are: • To develop new and transferable skills and knowledge in participants, in the field of digital storytelling; • To promote the recognition of different backgrounds and abilities especially for those with fewer opportunities; • To equip youth workers and young leaders with competences and methods for their professional development, including for digital youth work, needed for transferring the common fundamental values of our society; • To promote the activation of social and economic changes in the regions involved in the project; • To stimulate creativity and the sense of initiative of the participants and their inclusion in the society.
