"Tell Me..." 2022/23
The Erasmus+ project is carried out by secondary schools in Kato Lechonia, Greece and Lachendorf, Germany. The participating schools during the first semester 2022/23 are Gymnasio Kato Lechonia and Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium.
The aim is to develop and test different narrative forms in order to get to the bottom of the secrets of good communication. In addition, messages are examined for their truth content, fantastic parts, usefulness and intentions.
In doing so, we turn to old tales such as fairy tales and legends, but also to current news and use various forms of film and theater language, music and the visual arts.
It will be a project about the Arts of storytelling and best practices for presenting real important information.
During the first module, we will exchange and compare local stories and well known fairy tales, read them, illustrate them, play parts of them, mix them up.
The result will be an e-book and a video version. Mixed groups of students and teachers will edit these during several international workshops our schools will organize.
In a second module, we will exchange daily news and compare them.
There will be units at each school to teach about media literacy and how you can check "lies"and "trues". We also will organize workshops with professional journalists as guest.
The school communities will be involved through competitions, public presentations, etc.
