The project " MOVIEing through art into the future" is a partnership encompassing 6 countries: Germany, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, United Kingdom and Martinique. The 537 students involved in this project are between 11 and 17 years old. In order to propagate the media educational work in different areas, film scripts will be worked out and realised in all partner countries. Thus, small movies will be created that introduce regions, cultural institutions and local architecture. The participants will learn how to plan movie projects, to deal with the digital film technology, the editing and sound rendering as well as the public representation. A side effect is the active use and immersion in the English language. There is much room for creative ideas, the participants will learn a lot about institutions and cultural features in their own regions and are given the possibility to compare their region and work with those of their partners. Participants will recognise connecting similarities and receive impulses to optimize their own organisation and projects. Furthermore the participants will learn about new occupational fields that normally are outside their daily experiences. The results of their short films which encompass the following titles “The beauty of my territory”, “Leisure time places, culture and own region facilities”, “Art and outstanding architecture in my area”,will be released via internet where everybody who is interested may watch them. In order to increase cooperation between students and teachers a common short movie is going to be created along the 3 years project with the title "The ideal European school" focusing on the best practice and activities wich students have acquired and performed during project visits , as well as exchange of ppt presentations and through project visits or the dissemination of reports. We aim to: Increase students' motivation towards school and learning. Increase ability to team work both in teachers and in students. Improve knowledge of local history, geography art and music. Improve knowledge of the same subjects related to the other European partner countries. Present and compare our respective territories and lifestyles to other European countries. Strengthen cooperation and links with our respective local institutions (town council, libraries, local heritage and cultural associations and students’ families. Encourage the increase of the local institution investments in alternative teaching methods and activitiees.
