Institut Vacarisses, a Spanish secondary education school with 494 students aged 11 to 18 and 46 teachers, will feel the Erasmus+ experience as the school created the project “European Green Planet Film Festival” which has got the Erasmus+ grant for academic years 2019-2021. Students will work collaboratively with and travel to other schools from Italy (Istiuto Compresivo “Falconara Centro”), Portugal (Agrupamento de Escolas Gil Eames) and Poland (Szkola Podstawowa im, Jana Pawla II w Koszecinie).
The European Green Planet Film Festival is an exchange of good practices project. It has two pillars: Filmmaking and Animation in the Classroom and the celebration of various environmental short film Festivals. The project wants to promote and engage students in learning through simple filmmaking and animation. Participants will discover how film and animation can be used as powerful tools for encouraging active learning and enabling pupils to establish strong connections with any area of the curriculum.
The activities that have to be done throughout the project are organized in order to engage, connect and empower young people as they are related to creativity, environment, social responsibility and culture. These activities are, mainly, the realization of fictions, documentaries and animations and the organization and realization of the Festival.
The project was born to face the needs of the school and students: a low level of linguistic knowledge and a lack of interest for learning languages, poor environmental sustainability and a low level of cultural diversity and tolerance.
Throughout this project, we want to introduce an innovative way of learning. This would be made engaging and empowering students all across the European Union by producing their own original products and services. Everything related to the organization of an international short film festival (EGP). We think that it should be a priority in the digital era in which we live in.
