"VISIBILITY DOERS FOR ORGANISATIONS"

During the training course, participants will explore the world of video production in all its phases and will have the chance to experiment and experience how to make the process sustainable and professional-looking without the need for huge and expensive equipment. After some day of activities and exercises, they will already put the acquired knowledge into action, producing videos for local organisations that will share their work and experience, being then helped with the promotion of their activities.

We are looking for 24 participants:

• youth workers / teachers / trainers / volunteers, connected to the sending organisations or willing to become their members;
• at least 18 years old;
• with a communicative level of English to be able to learn in an intercultural environment;
• interested in the topic of video production in all its stages;
• motivated and able to take part in the whole project's phases: preparation, activity and dissemination, as explained in the infopack;
• ready to use the acquired competencies after the activity in dissemination and follow-up activities.

The selected participants will start their journey in the video production world starting with small online assignments given for gaining confidence with some mobile applications we'll use during the training course. A Facebook group will be the main spot where we'll communicate with each other and where we'll share and collect all our video productions.
