Construyendo la paz a través de la videografía

About the project

Construyendo la paz a través de la videografía is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange addressing Creativity, arts and culture, Prevention of conflicts, post-conflict rehabilitation and Digital content, technologies and practices. It was developed to increase the skills of young people concerning videography, peace and non-violence and promote the peace during the times of war that we are facing. The project uses non-formal education and international cooperation to turn these themes into practical learning, organisational development and community-level action.

Objectives

* To increase the capacities of young people with videography tools to promote peace.
* To qualify young people as movie makers for making them as changemakers to create awareness on the issues that they define as important.
* To create a local impact in Alcalá la Real and making the local community aware as well as give a voice to the local community from an international perspective to show the solidarity with Ukraine.
* To promote peace by reaching out the young people through the power of the cinema and videography as a tool.
* To increase the competences of young people and youth organisations for developing quality digital video content and use of video content on creating awareness on the issues specifically concerning peace, exclusion and war in Ukraine.

Activities

* International non-formal learning activities involving participants and partner organisations.
* Practical workshops, collaborative work and reflection connected to the project themes.
* Follow-up and dissemination activities within the participating communities.

Impact

The young people will work on theme of peace, which is the most relevant issue today due to the war in Ukraine, as well as the problems of social peace that exist throughout Europe due to discrimination, exclusion and economic obstacles. Therefore, the project will give young people the opportunity to develop their own voices/images through the videography tool to discuss the problems of concern in Europe, such as the war in Ukraine, as well as the problems of social peace. The youth exchange directly benefits the participating young people as they will develop their own videos and gain skills to develop new ones after their return. Furthermore, the videos/short films they develop will promote peace and raise awareness of peace issues in general through multiplication of their results.
