Filter your Film - youth exchange

Our international youth exchange “Filter your film” takes place at the House across Borders in Lommel, Belgium next to the biggest German war grave cemetery in Western Europe. The “House across Borders” is a youth-meeting and education centre organizing historical and political workshops with school classes as well as doing research and developing other projects (e.g. exhibitions, events etc.).
From the 03th to the 15th of July young people from different European countries will meet in Lommel and discover each other’s culture and habits. When we take a look at the world today, we notice that our generation has a strong co-dependency to social media. The Internet allows us to get a good look into the lives of others all around the world.
But what impact do these information have on us? Do we need to filter them?
It’s no secret that politicians and corporate companies know of these effects as well.
In our project we want to have a look at the situation at hand, with the support from professional coaches we will work on the topic and create our own Film. We hope by bringing people together we can achieve that. We are looking forward to your participation!
