🏢 About the local organisation
Want to meet other young people aged 14 to 18, from different backgrounds ? Want to make videos with others ? Want to live an ecological and intercultural adventure in the middle of nature?
At the heart of this project, participatory video ! What is it ? Learn to express your ideas, to film, to transmit a message by participating yourself and with others around! In the Alsatian Vosges mountains, we are going to meet the inhabitants of the valley (beekeepers, foresters, farmers, local associations, village mayors, etc.) to make links between life in the Alsatian countryside and your own life in your village or town! The objective is to make videos about: what it means to be young today: our questions, our fears, our dreams to build our future!
On August 13th, we will organize together with the inhabitants of the Valley a closing party with a video projection and an international meal! It will be a great way to conclude this adventure with all the people who participated! And all other interested people from the area ; )
💼 What the programme involves
You will be supported in your learning by 2 motivated facilitators, Hannah and Nadège :
- you will train in video techniques (creating a scenario, learning to film and edit images)
- You will visit the region and talk to the inhabitants about their lives and yours,
- you will experience intercultural games to learn about other participants' cultures and share your own, including fun language activities,
- you will organize the collective life together: meals, activities, decisions to be taken together!
No particular qualification is expected, only the desire to do something together! If you are already familiar with video, you are also welcome ; )
At the same time, taking advantage of our intercultural dynamics, we will organize actions to raise awareness about international solidarity and to fight against discrimination.
