Abstract

 In this paper, we present the results of the workshops linked to the Future Story Chasers project, carried out in primary and secondary schools in Barcelona (Spain) with the aim of generating audiovisual narratives through them. These workshops, based on story generation through a board game and shaped through the stop motion technique, were produced in the context of a research project devoted to the creation of narrative tools and strategies that allow addressing social and environmental issues speculatively in education settings.

We will analyze the materials generated by the participants in the workshops and the observation of the creative process and we will delve into two aspects: a) the creative strategies, improvisation or team management, b) the ways in which socio-environmental issues emerge as well as other significant issues related to the daily life of the participants and their symbolic universe.
