This will led to the establishment of the first European Community on GCE.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unite-it.eu\/page\/global-citizenship-edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Citizenship Education<\/a> employs concepts and methodologies already implemented in different fields and subjects, including human rights education, peace education, education to achieve sustainable development and education for intercultural understanding. Addressing subjects through GCE can contribute to promote social inclusion and give opportunities to challenge racism and stereotypes. We will combine it with digital storytelling because it has proven to be a powerful learning tool, improving creativity, digital literacy and critical thinking.<\/p>\n<p>BRIGHTS\u2019 objectives are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To <strong>build teachers\u2019 and trainers\u2019 capacity <\/strong>to implement GCE with young people using digital storytelling techniques, and<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>empower young people <\/strong>to develop social, civic and intercultural competences as well as critical thinking, media literacy, creativity and digital skills. In practice, young people will produce digital stories on Global Citizenship topics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project will be implemented in Belgium, Croatia, Greece and Italy and directly address:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secondary school teachers and trainers (e-facilitators, youth workers, cultural mediators etc.) working in formal and non-formal educational settings (schools, Telecentres, Youth Centres, NGOs etc.) with young people.<\/li>\n<li>Young people (13-19 years old), including youngsters at risk of marginalisation<\/li>\n<li>Education and training policy-makers and stakeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will train secondary school teachers and trainers working with young people (including youth workers, e-facilitators, cultural mediators etc.) on the principles of Global Citizenship Education and its application through digital storytelling. We will develop a <strong>blended training course<\/strong> for them with a <strong>MOOC<\/strong> and <strong>face-to-face workshops<\/strong>. As part of their training, selected teachers and trainers will directly test the acquired methodology with young people (aged 13-19) in schools and in non-formal educational contexts. We expect a great number of interesting and reflective <strong>digital stories<\/strong> produced by youngsters on global challenges and subjects including human rights, peace and democratic values, intercultural dialogue, active citizenship etc.<\/p>\n<p>On the policy level, we will produce informative materials and recommendations and raise awareness on BRIGHTS values, objectives and activities among policy-makers and the civil society.<\/p>\n<p>BRIGHTS is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union under the Action KA3 Social Inclusion through Education, training and youth.
