Introduction
Welcome to “Lights, Camera, Action,” an exciting youth exchange project dedicated to the dynamic and creative world of movie making. Through this immersive experience, we will learn about various aspects of movie making, including scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, and production.
“Lights, Camera, Action” is more than just a filmmaking workshop; it is a way for young people to express their creativity, share their stories, and connect with people from different cultures. By working together on film projects, participants will develop valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the power of film as a tool for storytelling and cultural exchange.
Join us on this cinematic adventure and become part of a community that celebrates creativity, diversity, and the magic of movies. Together, we will bring stories to life, one frame at a time
