The DIANOIA. project is designed to develop the metacognitive skills of instructors, teachers, social operators and educators with a view to fostering autobiographical and narrative teaching practices.The ability to talk about oneself and to tell one's story should, according to the project, help young people to enter active life through better acquaintance with their own abilities and skills to accomplish the tasks demanded of them.To this end the project will develop various training modules for the acquisition of new skills which will provide training personnel with more effective instruments to encourage these young people to enter active life. The project beneficiaries will be teachers, social operators, cultural facilitators, and training organisations.The transnational nature of the partnership will facilitate the pooling of experiences in training; the results can be shared and disseminated at European level.
