MOVED TO DOX: INDUSTRY Teachers for Teachers: The Use of Film in Education

Are you a teacher, principal or active lecturer and want to work with film in your teaching? We have prepared an inspiring programme just for you.

Due to technical reasons (temporary power outage at the Kino Kavalírka), the event has been moved to the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art.

The focus of the first day of the industry programme at the 8th Young Film Fest will be on sharing the good practice of teachers who have been working with film in their classrooms on a consistent and long-term basis. This international meeting of teachers from the Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia will provide the platform for sharing the experiences and ideas on how to exploit not only film's creative potential, but also the wide spectrum of possibilities that film as an educational tool offers.

In addition to these inspiring presentations, we call for the active involvement of all participants through workshops. Participants will be divided into groups to work on defining their needs to help facilitate the use of film in the classroom. The groups will work under the guidance of two lecturers. The lecturers are the recent winner of the prestigious Dutch Film Teacher of the Year award, Remon Klik, and a teacher, university lecturer and Berlinale school project leader, Martin Ganguly.

Teachers for Teachers: The Use of Film in Education is co-organised by the Audiovisual HUB of Kino Kavalírka. The programme is part of the filmED project supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA programme. More information about the project can be found here .

The programme will be held in English. Presentations will be simultaneously translated into Czech.
