The Heart of the Story, Training Course, 18-26 August 2017 | Forres, United Kingdom

"The Heart of the Story" is a training course aimed at youth workers, facilitators and educators active in the field of youth, hosted by the UK based organisation Coyote Initiatives.

The idea for our course is born from the deep knowledge that storytelling is an incredibly powerful tool for education. It can address creativity, youth participation and employability, critical thinking and social responsibility. Europe at the moment is facing major problems. Among these, the dis-empowerment of young people who feel marginalised from society, can't find their place and don't know (or forget) how to realise their potential in life. Also, racism, intolerance and ignorance can be greatly fuelled by storytelling – as demonstrated by the media especially in this last year, and every totalitarian government.

The activities will be based on non formal and experiential learning methodologies, all centred on different aspects of Storytelling. We will work on the most classic and traditional forms (sitting around the fire) to the most contemporary, like cinema, comics and video games.

The project has been financed by the Erasmus+ programme. The costs related to accommodation and food will be completely covered by the hosting organisation and the travel costs will be covered according to the Erasmus+ standards as it follows: Greece: 360€
There is a participation fee for this training course. The fee is according to the possibilities of each participant, on a sliding scale between €60 and €150. Please take into account your personal circumstances, and also the difference in costs and standards across Europe with your fee.
