Stories that Move is a multilingual free online toolbox for teaching about diversity and discrimination, guided by young people’s real stories and experiences. The online toolbox consists of five learning paths that are complete modules for educators to build their lessons around. The audience was interested in the practical issues concerning the toolbox, such as its structure, mission, and available language versions, which also included country-specific context and personal stories; the connection of the toolbox to the education about the Holocaust and WWII; and its role in fostering the reflection about one’s own prejudices and the ways of counteracting them.
