Project TECH TALES brings together seven partners from six European countries and different sectors to work together on an innovative approach to raising awareness on stigma-based violence. By giving a twist to classic children’s fairy tales and the ways they are consumed, TECH TALES presents a transmedia universe that fosters empathy, well-being and creativity in children in a technologically advanced, playful and gamified way.

The project involves a wide range of creative professionals and artists, educators, psychologists and children themselves to produce an Augmented Reality (AR) exhibition (premiered at Vienna Design Week (AT), and further circulated at Barcelona (ES), FLUID Design Festival (MNE), and Sweska Gallery (PL)), four audio tales (translated in five different languages and interpreted in sign language), and three eco–friendly printed books enriched with AR technology (available in four languages).

Creating on-demand content and immersive user experiences based on new technologies such as AR, we aim to bring the topic of stigma closer to the target audience, improve digital literacy and democratize the use of digital media. Through the exhibition touring and digital dissemination we aspire to reach 60.000 visitors/users.

The project also includes three-day participatory co-creation workshops for children (reaching 150 children from 6 schools), one-day digital literacy workshops for children and teachers (reaching 700 children and 40 educators from 24 schools), and an AR Design literacy course (reaching 20 participants/young professionals) as well as public reading events for children and their families and three Partner Forums aimed at developing a framework for sustainable cross-sectoral collaboration. In line with our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, we aim to reach 250,000 unique visitors via website, mobile app, and other digital channels by providing the majority of our content for free.
