DigitalSchoolStory gGmbH
Organization Details
Getting young people out of the consumer mindset and turning them into active creators - that is the core of DigitalSchoolStory. The non-profit company DigitalSchoolStory gUG emerged from an educational hackathon in 2020. The approach: students in grades 5 to 13 translate lesson content into creative videos. In the process, they acquire personal, social and methodological skills for the future, such as digital media production and agile teamwork. The method is also used at vocational schools, universities and in companies to support knowledge transfer and networking. We create an independent learning experience through digital storytelling. DigitalSchoolStory thus supports the creative acquisition of future skills using agile methods. Creators inspire and accompany the process as mentors. Learners become reflective users of digital channels whose mechanisms they understand. They create and tell their story boldly and confidently.
Impact Story
"DigitalschoolStory helps adolescents to exercise their right to informational self-determination in the digital space and teaches a critical approach to media. By producing a video and engaging in digital storytelling themselves, pupils gain an insight into the data, money and incentive mechanisms in the context of social media projects. It is a successful example of responsible digitalization."
Bavaria's Consumer Protection Minister Thorsten Glauber, patron of the "CDR and Consumer Affairs" category at the CDR Awards 2023.
DigitalSchoolStory enables students, teachers and schools to systematically develop digitally, which improves the future viability of all those involved and promotes active and critical engagement with social media as well as learning how to actively use digital media. The future lies in teamwork. Our agile methods pave the way in schools for effective implementation in organizations and companies. Communicating to the point and maintaining focus is difficult for people, not just young people but also older people. This is one of the core skills learned at DigitalSchoolStory.
Future-oriented teaching must set itself the task of enabling students to recognize, decode and process stories. With storytelling, media skills and agile methods, students in grades 5 to 13 develop their own skills in a playful way, learn to work in a team, recognize their own strengths and make the best possible use of them, and also develop important future skills in the area of digital media and solution-oriented thinking.
