What is Tell Your Story?

Tell Your Story aims at exploring the use of digital storytelling and story mapping in education to combat early school leaving. It also aims to motivate early school leavers to re-enter lifelong learning, thus preventing young people at risk from prematurely dropping out of school or vocational education.
Well-told stories are very powerful artefacts. Digital stories are often presented in compelling, interactive and emotionally engaging formats.
Digital storytelling is therefore a suitable and effective means for young people to communicate their experiences. Storytelling is defined as a short form of digital media production, which allows people to share particular aspects of their lives. “Media” may include full-motion videos with sound, animation, stills, audio, etc., which individuals can use to tell a story or present an idea.

Languages, employability and entrepreneurship.
Successful CES&L conference at Trinity College Dublin

At venerable Trinity College in Dublin the CES& project had its well-attended final conference, which at the same time was the launching event of the project’s training module to improve language students’ employability potential.

Entrepreneurship competence is part of the module, and I had the pleasure to introduce this key element in a workshop with career counsellors and academic higher education staff. Hopefully the workshop demonstrated that entrepreneurship is a topic that can be easily integrated in languages and career counselling and, above all that it can be fun, too!

The complete CES&L training module, with learning materials, facilitator notes and accompanying e-elearning content can be accessed very soon at: https://languages4work.eu
