Educational workshops, differentiated by age group and led by experts in the field, will involve the young participants in stimulating and creative projects. Some of the workshops focus on raising awareness and deepening of the issues addressed by documentary films, others are dedicated to the audiovisual language.

The workshops, realised in collaboration with  Echivisivi and L'Aleph, are limited or reserved for schools.

The world is a complex thing. Especially in this historical moment. As is the way of telling and representing it through images that now fill every void (from platforms to television, from advertising to social media), often in a pervasive or harmful way. That is why it becomes important to know, especially for the youngest, the media that create those images, so as to be able to interpret them through a constructive approach but also to use them as a potential tool to intervene in their world.

The Echivisivi Workshop, in continuity with the first experience in 2023, aims to lead children by the hand in audiovisual reproduction through didactics based on play and direct experience, so that reality can remain a wonderful place to discover and its representation a way to improve the world around us.
