Introduction
Creative writing, storytelling, fan fiction and other narrative ways are turned into tools in the hands of the teacher, in order to tackle any “difficult” or “boring” topic in the classroom.

How can an educator activate the students so that they approach knowledge in their own way? Through different lines of storytelling, teachers of any specialty create an individual workbook, which they can use as a tool in their daily work. Creative writing, storytelling and fan fiction are just some of the ways to approach selected topics in the curriculum.
How do we turn knowledge into an interactive storytelling game? Each teacher selects one or more topics from the school curriculum and uses it as a key subject to create an individual workbook. Obtaining all the necessary methodological and scientific material, each of the participants selects and transforms the teaching of difficult or “boring” topics into a pleasant and fun experience.
Through this workshop, which fosters interdisciplinarity and intersectionality but also the exchange of good practice and experience, participants will gain the empirical knowledge necessary in order to use creative narrative methods as teaching tools.
