Story Changers aimed to develop primary school pupils’ social skills through a combination of storytelling and virtual reality, as well as to provide teachers with innovative teaching tools for the development of their pupils’ soft skills.
This was achieved through the creation of the “You Tell” stories, a series of interactive stories for primary education pupils with several alternative plots (based on the methodology of Gianni Rodari and Eugene Trivizas) to be chosen by pupils based on their social skills and values. Five of these “You Tell” stories have been converted to interactive VR scenarios as well as a desktop application and an android application. The stories and VR interactive scenarios, along with other deliverables (e.g., icebreakers, guides), are included in the “Change the Story” teaching package compiled to be used by teachers inside and outside the consortium for the development of their pupils’ social skills.
