Children as Creators of Augmented Reality Stories
CARS is an Erasmus+ project which aims to promote augmented reality (AR) as a medium children can use to create and share their own stories as part of their language learning experience.
Project No: 2023-1-MT01-KA220-SCH-000154134.
Project Phase
The project is in its launch phase, laying the foundational stones for a transformative educational journey. Our consortium of educators and researchers is actively developing the framework and tools that will enable children to become storytellers through Augmented Reality, marking the beginning of a new chapter in language learning.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unlock the creative potential of children by integrating augmented reality into language education, fostering a global community of young storytellers.
CARS emphasises immersive language education for young learners, harnessing the captivating power of augmented reality. By engaging a vibrant network of primary schools, our partners will explore and evaluate the effectiveness of AR as a storytelling and pedagogical tool. Comprehensive training activities for teachers will be a cornerstone of the project, equipping them to guide children in becoming the narrators of their own stories.
