AI-Powered Digital Storytelling in Virtual Worlds: A Comparative European Model for Refugee Education


Abstract:

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Worlds in refugee education offers new opportunities for social inclusion, language learning, and digital empowerment. This study explores AI-powered digital storytelling as a pedagogical tool to support refugees in identity reconstruction and linguistic integration. Through a comparative analysis of European policies, it highlights best practices and challenges in different national contexts. Project like MEMEX, which uses augmented reality to create a shared cultural heritage, and DIGIMI, which promotes migrant integration through digital storytelling, demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative approaches in refugee education. The findings provide scalable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and NGOs, promoting technology-based educational solutions.
