Your world in focus- Tu mundo en el visor
In the context of our project students from three different countries are dealing with their living environment in a journalistic way and exchange about it. The students from Germany, El Salvador and Nicaragua develop photo reportages in teams about a topic, which they can choose by themselves from 4 categories, these are:
- Me (and my social surrounding)
- My Life in my city/region
- Environmental issues
- Social problems
Workshops
In a first workshop, the participants learn basics of journalism
and photography by a professional photograph and a media pedagogue. They
develop their own ideas and can be creative in the way of dealing with the
topic. On the website www.tu-mundo-en-el-visor.org,
which is programmed specially for the project, they can document their
activities and their progress of work with the chosen issues by uploading
photos, videos and describing their advance. Comments can be posted and opinions
on other topics can be expressed. Also, the students can exchange in a forum,
where they can discuss about various topics. It should become a real "community
life", a lively exchange between the participants from the different countries.
In the second workshop there will be present interim results. It can be reported, what happened until now and what is planned for the next step of the photo reportage. These workshops will be held in all participating countries, to ensure that all students have the same requirements.
In the last workshop the compiled results of all participants will be analyzed together. Similarities and differences will emerge, certain perspectives and viewpoints will be visible. Also, they can develop ideas for a joint cooperation in the future.
Exhibition and Brochure
All contributions will be published in a bilingual exhibition and a brochure. This can be used in school education as well as in non-formal education. As multipliers the students provide their answers to classmates and other persons (family, friends, other schools). In this way, a lot of people can take part in the global learning. If you are interested in borrowing the exhibition or working with the brochure, please contact Belinda Hanke or Raphael Schapira.
