MASTERCLASS: PARENT AS A ROLE MODEL

Two online masterclasses discussing the role of parents in audiovisual education

Are you a parent? Do you ever think about what audiovisual content surrounds your children? How do you choose the films you screen for them? And what ways are there to get involved in their audiovisual education? 

 

These and many more questions will be answered in two masterclasses by Emese Erdös from The National Film Institute - Film Archive, Hungary, and Maciej Jakubczyk from The New Horizons Association, Poland.

 

Emese Erdös talks about Klassz Program, an educational programme for young audiences organized by The National Film Institute – Film Archive, Hungary. The programme offers educational materials, online games and interactive events at cultural festivals, film days and other occasions, and is based on the Film Archive’s film history website called Core Films. The masterclass will focus on the main interactive project, which started as a family programme but over time it has transformed to an event that involves nearly all ages.
