Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I work with minors at risk who come from Africa to Spain in search of work , they have no   resources and are mistreated by society as there is the bad concept that they come to hurt and   not in search of opportunities , or out of need to survive already because in their countries of   origin they can not subsist . I spend most of my time advising minors so that they can find a job   and a proper future . I teach them Spanish , Catalan , Math and English , I think that the more are   the best qualified and skilled labor will find opportunities and be better prepared to enter into   the labor market . Many times we exchange knowledge and most children know many trades   such as carpentry or crafts that most young Spaniards do not know , together we share stories   that make me realize the great inequality that these young people have , and the luck we have   those who we live in a developed country , where we have many options and facilities that for   them mean a lot of effort to achieve . 

 I often use their stories to show that their knowledge is very valuable and that if they have   been able to learn a trade , they have the ability to train today and fight for a future , as they   are winners and have a lot of merit . 

 Application 

 Seeing the abilities of foreign minors I decided to push for an initiative , I created a course   where both foreign minors and local minors shared experiences and knowledge . At first there   were two blocks ( foreign - local ) that did not interact with each other , often because of the   language difference that acted as a barrier . But little by little , they gained confidence and   communicated through a funny mix of languages . My idea was for them to share knowledge   and each day of the week a student presented an experience or something that he really liked   and that he considered a personal skill . 

 This new method made it possible to share experiences and skills with classmates , but at the   same time it also made the protagonists themselves realize that they were all special in   something and valued their abilities , my idea was that they could gained personal confidence . 

 At the same time , this initiative facilitated the creation of a great synergy between the   participants who came to form a compact group ( both foreigners and locals ) , and outside   school hours they met to do activities together and share friendships . 

 Insight & Approach 

 In this way , I realized that what was holding back those foreign minors was often the fear of   failure , conditioned by the barriers that had been imposed on them . With this initiative I   managed to get them to gain self - confidence and self - esteem . And that they were aware that   they were survivors and that the fact that they had left their homeland and were struggling to   integrate and subsist so many miles from their home , was of great value . But if the necessary   means were provided , they would be able to overcome their fears and succeed . 

 I showed to them , that storytelling is a great tool that can be used to overcome language ,   cultural , and class barriers and that helps to integrate people . My project was born with the   idea that everyone should have , at least , the opportunity to express themselves and share   their concerns , aspirations , knowledge and experiences . Since we all have a special story to tell   and it can be rewarding and can become a real learning experience for those who listen to it . 

 We simply need to leave space and the media so that everyone can express themselves   without fears or barriers , to sharing knowledge and building bridges between people or   cultures and not borders .
