This contribution deals with Digital Storytelling (DST) in formal education, through the presentation of a case-study: PoliCultura, an initiative by HOC-LAB (Politecnico di Milano, Italy), has involved more than 40,000 students from Italy and abroad. The PoliCultura experience highlights that two are the elements that facilitate the integration of DST in formal education: one is collaboration (which can be supported by the creation of an interactive, multi-chapters story) and the second is the curriculum connection (which depends on the choice of the story's topic by the teachers). DST activities that guarantee both can be succesfully embedded into the classroom.

Abstract

This contribution deals with Digital Storytelling (DST) in formal education, through the presentation of a case-study: PoliCultura, an initiative by HOC-LAB (Politecnico di Milano, Italy), has involved more than 40,000 students from Italy and abroad. The PoliCultura experience highlights that two are the elements that facilitate the integration of DST in formal education: one is collaboration (which can be supported by the creation of an interactive, multi-chapters story) and the second is the curriculum connection (which depends on the choice of the story's topic by the teachers). DST activities that guarantee both can be succesfully embedded into the classroom.
