Introduction
The RIGHTS experimentation phase is over. The teachers involved in the online course started their practical activities (workshops) with their students in order to make them produce their digital stories. The stories were produced in the 7 partner countries: Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. Each partner country selected the 5 best stories that were selected for participating in the RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL CONTEST. The students of the schools involved in the RIGHTS project were called to produce their own DIGITAL STORIES on Global citizenship education. Teachers supported their students during the production phase. The Assessment team made up of experts in the project fields assessed all the stories based on a pre-set rubric that was indicated in the Contest rules document. All information about the document and the assessment can be found on the project website www.rightsproject.eu.
