Technologies and storytelling for the rebirth of a territory. The European project TONITE and Tellingstones. A replicable methodology that combines digital storytelling and social impact

How can digital innovation foster a positive and measurable impact on the territory?

Espereal Technologies presents the Tellingstones meta-app, developed within the context of the European UIA TONITE project to change the perception of the neighborhoods along the Dora river, combining technologies and storytelling.

Thanks to the “stones that tell stories” that is Tellingstones, the narration becomes contextual, without the need to install hardware devices such as beacons and the like.

Via the special digital platform, it is possible to publish geo-referenced local stories, experiences and services, offering the possibility, in a simple and intuitive way, to access narrative content, activate reservations, purchase products and entitlement to access to paid services.

The analysis of the data collected and aggregated automatically, in a natively anonymous way, also makes it possible to generate indicators to which it will be possible to correlate the measurement of the impact on the territory, in both social and economic terms, of the transformation and enhancement intervention that has been carried out.

In the current phase of the circulation of the results of the TONITE project, thanks also to the collaboration of ANCI, Espereal proposes adopting the model used in Turin to the cities and territories concerned, making its experience and expertise available to them.
