Story Seeds - from Ireland to Italy (and back again!) - A Good Practice Guide

Title: Story Seeds - from Ireland to Italy (and back again!) - A Good Practice Guide 

Author: Mary Lowry, Graphic designer: Philip Elliott

This good practice guide is based on an Erasmus+ project coordinated by sister creative writing organizations Fighting Words in Dublin and La Grande Fabbrica delle Parole in Milan. 

In this story sharing project more than 500 children from 12 primary schools in areas facing educational disadvantage in both Italy and Ireland co-wrote these tales: each story began in one school, centered on their local community, then was passed across borders, and continued in another school, which added the flavor of their own local community, creating a truly shared narrative between classrooms and cultures.

This is a good practice guide aimed at educators, creative facilitators and anyone else interested in creative practices that foster inclusion. 

This project was kindly funded by the EU and supported by Léargas.
