[active project]

An itinerary for schools that uses cinema to stimulate the participatory reflection of children, young people and teachers on inclusion and combating discriminatory phenomena. Those who participate will be able to acquire technical skills on audiovisual language, but also awareness of the impact of images on our lives, becoming active citizens and builders of inclusive communities.

Schools of all levels, through the language of cinema, reflect on how to counter discriminatory phenomena, to take an active part in building inclusive communities. 

The teacher-training and didactic-laboratory course with the classes focuses on education in film language and the experimentation of visual self-narrative tools, with a reflection on the ethical and conscious use of images shared online. 

Taking inspiration from the Biografilm Festival experience, a Human Media Library takes shape, made up of autobiographies and audiovisual biographies realised by the classes. Screened first in theatres and then available online, the Human Media Library is an educational and didactic tool shared with the educating community and functional to the development of transversal skills. 

Schools located in three provinces of the Emilia-Romagna Region, in peripheral and metropolitan areas, are involved.

The project opens in Bologna with a collective experiential training session for teachers and closes with a film festival in the cinema with the active participation of all classes and free access by citizens.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the project, teachers will be able to:

  • use audiovisual language to promote access to knowledge and as a transversal tool to support civic education;

  • conduct a critical reflection on audiovisual language and new media, aimed at a conscious use of these;

  • identify the stages of the film industry and the types of works;

  • autonomously realise audiovisual content in class using mobile phones and tablets in a creative way, thanks to learning filmmaking techniques, tools, apps and accessible software;

  • acquire innovative and inclusive teaching methods that can be used across the board for learning all curricular subjects, and to foster the formation of the class group in terms of human relations.

 

Students will be able to:

  • understand the basic grammatical elements of audiovisual language and create simple audiovisual content with their mobile phones;

  • identify the stages of the film industry and types of works;

  • conduct a critical reflection on audiovisual language and new media, aimed at a conscious use of these;

  • identify the characteristics of an ethical use of images, in order to become aware of the social impact of one's own narratives and audiovisual productions on others and the community;

  • understand how the media and audiovisual language can contribute to generating or combating discriminatory phenomena;

  • realise audiovisual, biographical or autobiographical content, collaborating with partner(s) also by sharing different stories and points of view, in an inclusive perspective.

 

Schools of all levels in Emilia-Romagna can participate in the project. The project is valid for several years.
