An online survey will be developed to assess the skills and knowledge of pre-service teachers at all educational levels regarding storytelling and digital storytelling. This survey will be translated into five languages: English, Greek, German, Polish, and Czech. Pre-service teachers in each participating country will be invited to complete the survey. The responses will be analyzed to produce a comprehensive report on teachers’ understanding and needs in utilizing digital storytelling in their educational practices.

This report, along with a literature review on the educational systems of each country and the history of shadow puppet theatre and storytelling traditions, will create a detailed portrait of opportunities to enhance digital storytelling. A design thinking approach, as outlined by IDEO, will be adopted, and teachers will be trained in using this approach to improve their digital storytelling skills. Concurrently, a community platform will be developed alongside an online training program and teachers' guides to support the use of digital tools in storytelling and shadow puppet theatre.
