    In this section we will integrate the learnings from module 1 and 2. We will underline the integration of insights of the trainersguide.

    In this module you will learn how to work with community reporting techniques, so that the stories told and collected will be mobilised for conversations of change, and narrative accountability purposes, meaning shared responsibility of all stakeholders for past experiences and actions and taking responsibility for future projects and actions. The mobilisation of stories can be realized through the organization of conversations of change that lead to narrative accountability of all stakeholders involved.

    In line with People’s Voice Media and the Institute of Community Reporters, NACCS project partners believe in achieving positive change by bringing peoples’ stories of lived experiences together, to provoke change from the ground up via Community Reporting, in Living Lab settings and introducing methods for collective learning. 
    Through NACCS we invite professionals to use storytelling- and community reporting techniques for narrative accountability, to evaluate their own projects and practices and develop shared responsibility and social learning. We specially address VET trainers working in social, cultural and community settings to consider the strength of community approaches in combination with (digital) storytelling and art based techniques, in developing new trainings addressing issues such as evaluation, improve professional practice, future casting, customer journey.

    
    Telling stories of lived experience, listening to them, collecting them, sharing and curating them together contribute to empowerment of individuals, organizations but also of groups and communities. Visualizing shared stories uncovers (new) common values and view points do contribute to conversations of change. These processes of conversation and sharing are not always easy because different point of views may be expressed, which not necessarily to common agreement and harmony. Community reporter techniques will be combined with living lab methodology and experiential learning, and related to evaluation of social impact of projects.

    
    NACCS introduces a set of creative tools to introduce community reporting as narrative accountability and collective responsibility for future projects and organization. 
    In Module III, NACCS invites VET trainers to use techniques learnt in Module I and II to build bridges between different types of stakeholders with different backgrounds, clients, managers, policy makers and create space for conversation of change to evaluate together and develop narrative accountability and raise awareness for shared responsibility for social impact. 

    
    This approach is based on development of equality and improve administration, democracy and policy making and change professional ways of working on the one hand and on involvement of all stakeholders we work with to develop common responsibility for future evolvement of projects through narrative accountability.
