FROM EXPERIENCE TO NARRATIVE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN THE PROCESS OF AWARENESS WITHIN EDUCATION

Abstract

To foster participatory and responsible citizenship in the current socio-cultural context, amidst both challenges and opportunities, there is a need for education centred on emotional, digital and sustainability skills. To this end, educational approaches capable of combining awareness, wellbeing and digital literacy are identified as suitable. From the perspective of Embodied Cognitive Science (ECS), mindfulness practices and digital storytelling appear to meet these criteria, both by their very nature and on the basis of research and field trials. Therefore, in this paper, we will explore the most significant aspects of incorporating generative artificial intelligence and digital storytelling into Mindfulness-based Self-Awareness Workshops. In particular, we will examine the implications for students, in terms of individual and collective identity formation, and the development of digital skills
