Oscar & Zoe series
Children need to talk about their experiences with the digital world, learn about safety, discuss what they encounter online and feel free to ask questions.
For this it is necessary that children develop social-emotional skills, problem solving, communication, self-confidence and empathy.
Digital Citizenship, safety online and great habits are at the core of our concept and every Oscar and Zoe book.
We created the Oscar & Zoe stories on digital citizenship in collaboration with the EPFL Center for Learning Sciences LEARN. The stories are being used in Swiss public schools, having gained the stamp of approval from teachers and the ministry of education. The first book in english is available.
TITLES OF THE SERIES
Workshops to teach digital citizenship with Oscar & Zoe
Edit Curriculum, Stories for primary school
By reading and working through the stories in this book, you will be helping students develop independent analytical thinking and empathy as they ponder what the main characters are going through. Students will involve themselves in realistic stories on an emotional level as well as discussing friendships and they way we treat others.
Edit Curriculum, Stories for Middle and High School
Students will learn while they ponder the problems of the main characters in the stories. Discussing the different themes will help keep students safe and guide them in the way they interact with technology but you will also be guiding them to healthier habits and to become more analytical and aware of the way they are feeling. These are vital skills we want our teens to have.
Why storytelling?
Stories move us, give us connection, and inspire
“I could imagine myself in the central character’s shoes”
“The stories showed us how harsh it might be if we were the other person”
“I thought the stories gave us connection”
“The stories helped me get it. I am cleaning up some of my posts.”
