👧 The most marginalised children are often those missing from datasets entirely

🏠 Community-based tracking can identify and enrol out-of-school children at scale

In this week’s blog post, Rosa Tiziana Bruno explores how the Intertextual Narrative Protocol (PNI) can rebuild social cohesion in schools in the aftermath of digital fragmentation and emotional isolation.

Three key insights:

• Emotional distress in classrooms can be transformed into motivational learning through storytelling, intertextuality, and embodied experiences.
• “Stop and go” narrative devices help students regulate impulsive reactions, fostering empathy and reducing relational aggression.
• The PNI offers a scalable, evidence-based framework aligned with UNESCO initiatives and the UN 2030 Agenda for peace-centred education.

From body mapping to symbolic diplomacy, the article highlights how narrative practices can strengthen resilience, empathy, and community in education systems worldwide.
