Course
Innovative learning opportunity to empowering, extending and developing adult educators’ competencies, for assisting their role in meeting the needs of refugees/asylum seekers, from diverse backgrounds, to impart common fundamental values and to prevent and combat racism and intolerance and promote their social inclusion.
Adult educators will live an exciting learning experience, within a multicultural environment (adult educators & former and newcomer refugees) framed by a creative process, enabling them to learn by doing, a new methodology mediated by cinema and create own specific didactical resources (documentaries), well adapted to the needs of the refugees on their route to social inclusion. With the guidance of experienced filmmakers, they will have the unique opportunity to research, write, produce and direct their own documentary short-film in close collaboration with refugees/asylum seekers.
