CESIE ETS is a European center for studies and initiatives based in Palermo, Sicily.
Storytelling is a powerful tool to connect people, foster empathy, and drive meaningful social change. Projects like JeS, YEA, and EU+Map use it to promote inclusion, dialogue, and learning, creating synergies that amplify their transformative impact.
JeS aims to use the multisensory method to explore and share stories related to human rights, such as the right to a home and security. During a week of training in Vantaa, participants explored belonging and the concept of home through immersive experiences that stimulate multiple senses, fostering empathy and understanding. The goal was to provide innovative tools to facilitate intercultural dialogue and the sharing of experiences.
JeS transforms personal experiences into tools for dialogue and social change through innovative methodologies such as Story Circle and Photovoice. These activities, aimed at promoting inclusion and human rights, explore themes such as belonging, resilience and stereotypes related to migration.
JeS studied the current status of support services for women survivors of trafficking in Palermo. The main difficulties are job placement and outreach for women.
