In Europe many historical complexes are containers full of stories to tell and characters to discover. The goal of the project is to collect these stories about places and characters and tell the young people allowing them to get closer to the cultural heritage in innovative ways. Young people will tell the stories through digital art works or storytelling in order to attract their peers and share their works with them. The project will launch two different international contests through social network: one for young digital artists and the other for young writers. Inspired by the true history and characters of some extraordinary historical places (in Italy, Belgium and Romania) the young competitors will have to invent new creative stories and tell them through digital tools and through traditional creative writing. Social media will be used as the main tool to involve young audience, who will so be able to access digital materials, learn more about historical sites and the artists, experience digital arts, share their posts and ideas and create new contents. The best digital artworks will be used to create a video and a traveling smart projection on the historical places themselves within existing international festivals. The best stories will be published in their original language, translated in English and presented on the occasion of the international storytelling festival in Alden Biesen.Many characters, many stories, new media. All to discover and spread.
