Stories of Tomorrow (STORIES) is a research and development project, funded by the European Commission, involving 15 project partners from 10 countries. The duration of the project was 30 months, starting in January 2017.

The project uses the concept of storytelling as a catalyst for the effective interaction between art and STEM disciplines, which shares in many ways similar values, themes and characteristics. The STORIES project proposes to introduce creative approaches in STEM education to generate alternative ideas and strategies within scientific inquiry as an individual or group and reasoning critically between these.

The project designs and tests a new vision for teaching and also helps develop strategies for how teachers’ roles and conditions can support and enable deeper learning for students. To do that, the project includes and uses innovative and meaningful digital technologies, such as advanced interfaces, learning analytics, visualization dashboards and Augmented/Virtual reality applications and builds a storytelling platform where students develop and publish stories about a Mars Mission.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme.
