The C4C Project, the terrorism survivors’ storytelling, is a global
platform for resilience stories and radicalization awareness. It is a
cross national project, supported by the European Commission – DG Home
Affairs (ISEC program), started at the beginning of 2013, involving
several private, no-profit and public partners, but open to the
collaboration of other interested subjects. The project aim - through
‘The terrorism survivors storytelling’ web platform - is to spread the
stories of the victims to the general public and to specific target
groups, by collecting, categorizing and giving e-collaborative tools and
additional resources for the practical use of these narratives - for
example, in educational programs for students and young adults, to
empower people with a critical thought toward hate narratives, or to
prevent people from becoming attracted by or permissive towards violent
movements, or to de-radicalize people engaged into a radicalization
path.
The project is proceeding along three main procedures:
1) The selection, cataloguing, digitization of the materials that
contain survivors stories and testimonies, retrieved through the Italian
and French associations of victims of terrorism with the availability of
other European associations;
2) The design and development of a multilingual platform (The Terrorism
Survivors Storytelling) that contains the archive (Global data-base) of
the selected materials files. Some of these will be made directly
available in their various forms of text, video, photos (Multimedia
deposit). That digital material will be used for digital storytelling
activity to create new communication/didactic products through the
e-collaborative tools, currently on the platform. Furthermore the
platform will offer some selected didactic and methodological resources
to help its practical usage at the ground floor carried on by
practitioners, teachers, tutors for
educational/prevention/de-radicalization programs.
3) The enhancement of the strategic value of the C4C project and
dissemination of its achieved results during the first two years of its
life. A specific target will be a group of students in Italy and France
who are going to test the platform and its e-collaborative tools..
