Digital Video for the Promotion and Enhancement of Educational Experiences in the Territory.

Digital audiovisual language represents an increasingly accessible resource for professionals operating in the cultural and educational sectors to enhance their activities. On the one hand, digital video enables the development of storytelling forms capable of engaging specific audiences, thereby fostering their participation in and adherence to cultural initiatives. On the other hand, audiovisual documentation allows for attributing value to experiences, combining accessibility with the scientific communication of the methodologies underpinning them. This contribution analyzes a project developed through collaboration between ITER, the Turin Institution for Responsible Education—an instrumental body of the City of Turin within the Department of Educational Services—and INDIRE, the National Institute for Documentation, Innovation, and Educational Research. The project involved researchers, educators, teachers, and media designers in defining solutions and expressive forms for the application of digital video storytelling and audiovisual documentation to promote local cultural and educational initiatives. The co-design process addressed an ambitious goal, identified as a priority by the pedagogical representatives of the City of Turin: the development of tools capable of strengthening horizontal continuity between schools and the local territory.
