If we say that a picture is worth a thousand words, we can say that a video is worth more than a million words. The history of humankind is linked to images: from prehistoric rock paintings to Egyptian engravings, fresco paintings in churches, illustrated books in the Renaissance, upuntil today, where for example, the marketing industry is continuously using images to transmit thoughts. Everyday items like t-shirts, or road signs, WhatsApp icons allow us to understand and relate to each other through images. The human brain is capable of processing visual information way faster than textual information. This project is presented to show how and why the use the so-called visual thinking concept is beneficial for teaching. Visual Thinking aims to show simple drawings and short texts, thus representing complex ideas. Visual Thinking benefits are: the amplification of the ability to remember by more than 65%; It is a tool to generate ideas: Fast, cheap and without risks; Facilitate consensus in working groups; Emotional benefits: it commits, it facilitates participation, motivation and promotes it communication; It facilitates attention to diversity and inclusion.
The objective of the project visEUalisation is to provide trainers in adult education with enought knowledge and information in order to make them able to develop animated videos applying the culture of visual thinking for teaching. These videos are known as video scribing, an audio-visual technique in which a voice-over tells a story at the same time as it is drawn. Although the reference sector is Adult Learning, it is interesting to note that the results of the project will be easily extrapolated to all sectors of education: School Education, VET or Higher Education can also make use of the results of visEUalisation to improve the digital competences of their teaching and training staff.
visEUalisation is in line with The European Digital Competence Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu) and The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp) since it helps the development of digital competence. The European Union identified the Eight Key Competences for Lifelong Learning in 2006, which have been reviewed by the College of Commissioners on January 17, 2018. Digital Competence is a key competence of great relevance for citizens to be able to function properly in the current society. This project is presented as a tool to improve the digital competence by offering a non-formal training for the large target group: Migrants and adult people with fewer (educational) opportunities, training providers, NGOs and NPOs in adult education and youth workers, teachers in general, entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises.
The Consortium consists of four complementary and expert partners that provide value in the pedagogy and methodology necessary to create quality and impactful Storytelling using open source or free tools. Two intellectual outputs will be developed: an eLearning platform that will propose a MOOC to learn, on the one hand, the methodology to generate these videos (applying creativity techniques) and technical tutorials to learn the digital tools used to translate ideas into videos. The second Intellectual Output is a Visual Library with 20 templates and 1000 original images related to topics such as: immigrants' inclusion, intercultural aspects, preventing racism, xenophobia and discrimination, Multiple Intelligence, Inclusive and authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, creative people, entrepreneurs, European citizenship, European awareness, gender equality and awareness, equity and participation with an emphasis on gender identity and sexual orientation.
