Deliverable 6 captures the voice of the community that OneStory is being built for. It comprises two complementary reports that together form the research foundation of the project.

Part 1: Survey Analysis Report A nationwide questionnaire collected 105 responses from educators, students, parents, professionals, and concerned citizens across Cyprus. The report presents how respondents view the role of technology in building empathy, which social issues they consider most urgent, who they believe stands to benefit most from an AI empathy simulator, and what concerns they have about its deployment in educational settings. Findings are broken down by stakeholder category and age band.

Part 2: Stakeholder Interview Report A series of in-depth qualitative interviews with subject matter experts including educators, school psychologists, curriculum designers, and NGO professionals. Conducted in a semi structured “Thinking Aloud” format, the interviews surface the interpretive depth that survey data alone cannot capture, exploring pedagogical fit, age and developmental considerations, narrative authenticity, ethical safeguards, accessibility needs, and the practical realities of deploying a tool like OneStory in Cypriot schools and youth settings.

Together, these reports validate the first character’s central themes, confirm the platform’s target audience, and identify the safeguards and design constraints that shape the prototype developed in Work Package 4.
