The institutions that integrate the partnership are from Spain, ""Ceper Fuensanta"", United Kingdom: ""Loughborough University, Lithuania: ""Lieporių mokyklos bendruomenė"", Austria, SPES GMBH , Poland: Fundacja Pro Scientia Publica and Belgium Perspectives.. All of them work with adult learners Education. Our goal was to go beyond the mere teaching of ICT. We wanted to use them as a tool of expression and personal and social communication, making these tools available to our students so that they are who take the control to create and recreate stories that have to do with their personal, social or labor needs; stories related to identity, cultural heritage of their environment, their city and their country, with the past, present and future of our European societies, with equity and social justice. We have worked in order to use the technique of digital story for active job search, the expression of ideas and thoughts or production of learning content in a creative and meaningful way and to share them with others at an European level, becoming producer and consumer of culture contents.. We need to learn to use ICT to not only to access to that great library that is internet, or managing daily procedures such as online banking or to ask for a doctor appointment, etc., but also to become producers of learning content. Our main objective has been to use the digital technique of storytelling to express our inner world , as well as our desires and aspirations, and the main conflicts that has our current society; recreation and sharing, in the last phase, with digital means at our disposal. We have produced many Digital Storytelling about the main topics pointed out above: Human Heritage, Fundamental Human Right, Health Promotion, Migration and Education, so that it comes to help us, European citizens, to know better each other and to understand better our European common background. We also have looked for real stories that is taking, or took place, in Europe but that come from others no European citizens. We strongly believe the added value of collecting stories from old people, last witnesses of many appalling conflicts in the last century. And that is what we have done. This group of people lack the necessary digital or writing skills, so the younger generations helped us to collect their stories and make them in a digital way. So the target group have been students and adults over 18, most from low middle class, from deprived background; people who want to be updated and active in this changeable society in which we need to be up to date continuously, learning new skills which allow us to be integrated into our society. The methodology we have used has been based on the dialogue, creative, active and critical thinking. Communication through ICT has been the essential tool for the development of the project. The English language has been the another fundamental tool for communication, for both, learners and teachers. So, English language and ICT courses have been very important for the Project Development. Regarding outcomes, benefits and impact, we have written a Teaching Guide, about activities, teaching strategies and methodology to orientate other teachers to work on Digital Storytelling. This Teaching Guide has been translated into the six languages of the Partnership We consider as well as project results all the Digital Storytelling produced about the mentioned above topics , which are being using at the moment in class and will be useful to reflex from now on to work this issues in the classroom with other students and to generate other stories and topics. Digital storytelling produced by the participants are published on Project YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-wqSRpyisnFNKK1UZiJDzQ As for dissemination activities, we have done dissemination of the Teaching Guide, as the IO and the project results and outcome in every institution, from first May to the end of July, so that all the Educational community can access to our products. We are satisfy with the results and we think they will be really useful and enriching to have this material for teachers and educator. We are convinced that for learners and students this has been an unforgettable experience which will mark a time, before and after this project.To know more about the project, go to the website: http://www.ceperfuensanta.com/erasmus/erasmus-ka2/"
