We know that the development of communication skills is fundamental in the education of students. We understand that they are not only tools in their academic processes, but that they will be fundamental skills in the development of their professional lives.
It is for this reason that fostering the development of communicative processes, while promoting a sense of belonging to the region, is a practice that we have forged with the "Storytellers" project. "Storytellers."
The project has gained great relevance in the Pies Descalzos - Lomas del Peyé school, summoning a significant group of students, who are immersed in the world of communication from its different expressions. Thus, this space is a pretext to tell stories of their neighborhood, whether oral, written or visual.
This year 40 new students joined the project, and in order to increase the motivation of this group, a Creative Writing Workshop was held with them.
The young people who received the workshop discovered that imagination and writing can go hand in hand, becoming a significant learning process; thus building communicative processes that can serve them in their academic and professional future.
The final project of the 2016 Storytellers became tangible through a digital space where students published their texts, stories and photographs. Having the opportunity to publish their writings in this space becomes a motivation for our 2017 storytellers.
Finally, we would like to thank ARTICASE and Fundación Santa Rita para la Educación y la Promoción (FUNSAREP), with whom we teamed up to achieve the optimal development of the activity.
