“Once upon a time in Europe…” is the classical beginning of a (European) fairy tale. But we just took this classical beginning as a symbolic picture for the European stories we were telling – with the method “storytelling”. We didi not tell any story but we explained Europe by using the method. By doing this we were discovering new ways in European education. The online encyclopaedia Wikipedia says about storytelling: Modern storytelling has a broad purview. In addition to its traditional forms (fairytales, folktales, mythology, legends, fables etc.), it has extended itself to representing history, personal narrative, political commentary, and evolving cultural norms. Contemporary storytelling is also widely used to address educational objectives. New forms of media are creating new ways for people to record, express, and consume stories. Tools for asynchronous group communication can provide an environment for individuals to reframe or recast individual stories into group stories. We know that the European Union itself and the European integration process is a complex issue. It is especially for young people hard to understand. Politics in general are not that attractive to young people even though they are already directly affected. This is more than true for European politics that surrounds us throughout the day from morning till night time – often without being recognized by us. If we are successful in communicating Europe in a new and more innovative way we find out that young people have a lot to contribute and they are very critical towards the European reality. Storytelling is not new, it is used in Public Relations, analysis of a company or psychotherapy. For educational purposes storytelling is used not very frequently. This offers new chances and new ways of learning. Is storytelling a better tool for educational purposes? Will politics be better transferred to a young target group? Are we able to learn more sustainable? In this European youth gathering we weregoing to telling stories to find out whether the method is good to learn about Europe. Different European perspectives helped to give fruitful feed back. Next to an intercultural working atmosphere the programme includes different attractions like interactive readings, impro-theatre, never ending Twitter stories, exchange with experts just to name a few. We also discovered different European aspects, topics and issues thus producing very different stories. We also worked on stories collaboratively between small multinational groups. This European youth project was realised by 60 young Europeans from 8 different countries in the European education center Europahaus Marienberg. The final say: Storytelling is a way and a tool to deal with European issues - also when you're young and not much interested in politics.
