CEDIS Piloting Reaches Over 400 Students Across Europe
The CEDIS project has successfully completed its international piloting phase, engaging more than 400 students and dozens of educators across Türkiye, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Germany. Throughout this dynamic testing period, schools implemented the Digital Storytelling for Circular Economy approach through a wide variety of learning environments.
Across partner countries, students participated in classroom lessons, creative workshops, and collaborative mini-projects, all designed to test, adapt, and validate the CEDIS educational tools. The piloting allowed teachers and learners to explore Circular Economy concepts through hands-on activities while developing key digital and creative skills.
Each country tailored the methodology to its own educational context—whether through curriculum-aligned lessons, interdisciplinary projects, or student-led digital storytelling tasks. This flexibility ensured that the CEDIS approach responded effectively to national curricula, local priorities, student interests, and institutional needs.
The results show strong evidence of the methodology’s effectiveness: students became active creators of digital stories, developed a deeper understanding of sustainability, and strengthened their teamwork, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills. Educators also reported increased engagement and enthusiasm in classrooms, demonstrating the value of integrating Digital Storytelling into environmental education.
With piloting now completed, the CEDIS consortium is preparing for the next phase—finalizing the toolkit based on teacher feedback, publishing student stories, and expanding dissemination activities across Europe.
