Once upon a time, far, far away…

…in a magical land of education, teachers, trainers, and career counselors shared fascinating and creative stories that captured the attention of their audiences and inspired them to understand complex concepts. These stories, like sparks of inspiration, helped create lasting memories, solve everyday problems, and pass down knowledge to future generations.

Since the dawn of time, storytelling has been a natural way of communication and exchanging experiences among people. Its application has proven effective in many areas of life, including education. The Method of Storytelling (STM) draws inspiration from this practice, aiming to make education more engaging, motivate students, and facilitate the educational process.

By integrating the Method of Storytelling with the frameworks of vocational education and training (VET), the project seeks to create an educational process that engages not only migrants and refugees but also benefits the local community.
