Our+project

=== The aim of this project is to enable socially excluded groups, such as immigrants, elderly people, young single mothers and high-school drop-outs to improve their knowledge and competences. We will reach this aim by; reducing learners feeling of social isolation, increasing self-confidence, working with creative ways of expression, creating intergenerational and intercultural meetings. ===

European Whispers has two key elements. First, learners will share their stories online in a variety of formats (text, film, visual arts etc). Then learners in other countries will translate, interpret and offer a personal reply to these stories. So, a story might start out written and end up being expressed as a visual arts piece, a song, or a play. The replies are also posted online and so a creative and educational dialogue builds and continues through the duration of the project.

Through web-based communication and meetings between the partners the stories, and their interpretation, will be discussed and analysed for their cultural and educational content, presenting a fantastic educational tool, and a live European dimension to the project. By working with online storytelling, we will introduce our communities to Web 2.0 technology and free licensed software. Technologies they themselves can afford and use.
