Teachers for teachers - the use of film in education

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.

Speakers:

Remon Klik - the latest winner of prestigious award for teachers in the Netherlands - Film Teacher of The Year

Pia Djukic - the artistic director and co-founder of the Festival of Animation Berlin (FAB) and art and German teacher at Primo - Levi - Gymnasium, Berlin

In addition to these inspiring presentations, we call for the active involvement of all participants, who will work through the workshops on addressing their own needs for making the use of film in the classroom easier. Summoning Game Design will complement the program with a fresh perspective on how educational video games can be approached.

Teachers for teachers - the use of film in education is part of the project filmED supported by Creative Europe MEDIA.
