Can Oral Storytelling improve children’s social and emotional skills? We invite you to take part in the multiplier event on 26.09.2024 to hear about the project and its implementation.
ELIX in cooperation with the Städtische Grundschule Unterstadt (Belgium), "Haus der Märchen und Geschichten e.V." (Germany), "Vester Skerninge Friskole" (Denmark), "Städtische Gemeinschafts- grundschule Düppelstraße" (Germany) and "Øster Åby Friskole" (Denmark) implemented the "The Children of Sheherazade - Die Kinder von Sheherazade - A research and evaluation study of a storytelling project in primary schools".
Background
In four countries, in four very different classes, the children have participated in the experiment "The Children of Sheherazade" 30 times during each school year, from the time they started in first grade until they left third grade. The hypothesis is that children who have oral storytelling as a fixed part of their school schedule become better at concentrating, gain greater self-confidence, courage and empathy, and not least that they have a stronger and more positive class community.
