Conference in Gothenburg

The 8th International Storyline Conference was held in Gothenburg and on-line the 26-27 of March 2022.


The theme for the conference was Sustainability and Resilience and was a Multiplier Event within the Erasmus+ project Education for resilience and sustainability. The participants in the conference were experienced teachers and educators from more than 25 countries.


We have tried to make as much dokumentation as possible and it will all be published on this page as soon as we have it ready. You will se headlines for presentations below. If there is no movie above the headline it means that it´s not ready yet. During the conference we also showed three films that we have made during the Erasmus+ project. You can find these films if you go to pedagogical resourses/Storyline films. 

For more information please look at these pdf files.

Please feel free to share all information!

Sustainability is about the ecological, social and economic challenges that humankind is facing. By resilience, we mean the ability to cope with crisis and sudden events and the ability to be happy and successful again after something negative has happened. Resilience can be applied on a number of different levels, the child, the school, the town, the municipality, the country and the world. The focus on the child can include health, relations, family, school and the wider community.
