Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has questioned communication and inter-relational methods. During the period in question, educators questioned how to dialogue with children and how to nurture the relationship at a distance. The social sharing of the educational task, the support and accompaniment to parents has proved to be fertile ground for promoting the global growth of the person. The nursery-family relationship and the storytelling activity - declined according to the type of Digital Storytelling - constitute the main axes of the research described below, conducted at a distance with 20 pairs of parents of 20 children attending a municipal nursery school in the city of Palermo. Through the research process, the aim was to enhance parents’ reflective competence, narrative competence and critical re-elaboration supported using ICT. The methodology implemented is that relating to the model of Alterio and McDrury (2003). To evaluate the acquisition of reflexive and narrative skills and critical re-elaboration, three focus group sessions and the evaluation sheet of the quality and validity of digital storytelling, created by parents with the support of the nursery educators, were used.
