This paper explores the intertwining of orientation, narration and writing in a reflexive-transformative perspective, analysing the role of stories in existential design processes. Starting from a workshop conducted at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples, the potential of the e-Portfolio as a tool for the construction of a narrative autobiography capable of promoting greater self-awareness is investigated. The article also examines the formative implications of this tool, highlighting how self-reflection, if cultivated, can become not only an opportunity for the critical re-elaboration of individual experience, but also a key process for social emancipation and for an educational quest that is more aware of its own transformative potential.
