| Description | Tell Me a Story’ is a European Lifelong Learning Project that developed a series of interesting urban stories related to different cities and regions in Europe to be used in tour guiding. It created innovative methods and tools for multilingual learning targeted at tourist guides, using the vehicle of storytelling. The project's concept is built upon the understanding that regions and cities of Europe need to become more language-friendly environments, in which the existing diversity of language and cultures is not only audible but also used to good effect. Key facilitators for intercultural dialogue in local dimensions and for cultural promotion are the tourist guides. As a result, their multilingual knowledge and their intercultural skills become essential. The project developed innovative language learning materials adapted to the needs of the professional tour guides in 8 languages: BG, DE, ES, FR, HU, IT, NL, RO, with pertinent cultural input, Common European Framework at Levels A1-A2 and created a user friendly e-learning space by using methods of autonomous and informal learning. |
