FilmED is an international project supported by the European Union, which aims to promote audiovisual and film education in Central and Eastern Europe and make it accessible to educators, cultural and educational organisations, and through them to children and young people who encounter audiovisual content at every turn.
Audiovisual and film education is one of the most important and necessary global trends today, reflecting the enormous impact of the ubiquitous audiovisual world on children, youth and society. It teaches us to understand it, to grasp the intentions of the creators and to look at it critically, increases resistance to the elements of manipulation and develops creativity, aesthetic perception and democratic debate.
Between 2024 and 2025, in cooperation with Czech and foreign partners from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Northern Macedonia, we are analysing and bringing together the best existing European film education methodologies, while implementing our own film education activities. On their basis we create simple and effective practical materials for teachers, schools, cultural-educational organizations and other interested parties who want to teach (with) film or directly start with film and audiovisual education. When the project ends, the materials will be available free of charge on the project's upcoming website.
As part of filmED we organize the Film Academy: Teaching (with) Film for Educators, filmmaking workshops for children and youth, meetings of foreign and Czech educators and experts on the topic of film and audiovisual education and many other activities.
