Description
This training program is designed to enhance the competencies of young individuals in the dynamic realm of videography, empowering them as adept contributors to active citizenship.
Throughout this engaging experience, participants will immerse themselves in every facet of videography —spanning from meticulous planning to hands-on production and intricate post-production processes. The journey involves embarking on a series of non-formal videography group challenges strategically set against the backdrop of Brno. These challenges encompass a diverse range of creative tasks, such as crafting documentaries, engaging in guerrilla filmmaking,
exploring digital storytelling, orchestrating chain-of-shot sequences, and participating in character improvisation exercises.
Beyond honing technical skills, participants will seize the opportunity to channel their ideas, needs, and opinions about societal issues through the lens of videography. This program fosters a platform for dialogue and collaboration, allowing participants to actively engage with the local community and contribute meaningfully to the broader discourse.
