DEPAL free online Italian workshop on digital education, participatory learning and digital storytelling

The “DEPAL – Digital Education & PArticipatory Learning” Italian workshop is addressed to Italian speaking educators and care-work professionals, but also to teachers and social workers.

Through 5 work sessions spread over 5 different days, Paolo Brusa and Angela Salvatore will introduce you to the participatory community learning process, experiencing firsthand the magic and practices of digital storytelling.

The proposed experience was tested in recent months at a European level with participants from seven different countries, and aims to introduce the context, the theory, the logic and the practices of participatory and digital learning in the care intervention with adults.

The workshop allow to experience what is like to be part of a learning community where the facilitators, with the extraordinary participation of Frank Naughton and Jacqui Cage (Partners Training for Transformation – IE) and of Karen Wynne (Liverpool World Center – UK), will pass on their experiences gained over years of nursing practice and community interventions, in order to make them usable by professionals who intend to explore and develop their knowledge by opening up to curiosity and amazement.

It is a call to explore the unknown, to encounter what has yet to be created.

The workshop allows you to participate in the experience of sharing what has been learned so far, to embrace what is still to be discovered, to generate new content from a common learning process. It is a collective act of generativity.

The workshop program is structured as follows:

  • Friday 26 February 2021 (15.oo> 18.oo) session 1: photolanguage, or the exploration of listening to and listening through
  • Saturday 27 February 2021 (10.oo> 13.oo) session 2: the speech of the three languages
