Digital Youth
from 18.04 to 18. 04. 2022
In spring 2022, the already fourth "Digital Youth" project for youth workers was carried out by our organization. After Armenia, the project returned back to its country of origin - Turkey. Participants from Greece, Italy, Slovakia, Serbia, Turkey, Latvia and Czech Republic met in a hotel ca. 35 kilometres from the city of Mersin. The main aim of the project was the same as always - to use the 10 project days to learn to work with a camera and editing software and to create our own short movies. Apart from various technical workshops and working on the movies, the participants also explored the various represented cultures, their habits and what they have in common. Intercultural dialogue and breaking down stereotypes also became the topics of some of the movies, which were created during the project.
On Saturday, the movies were done and we could enjoy a trip to the city of Mersin, where we experiences a typical turkish "bazar" and visited a mosque. In the evening, the finished the project with a projection of our movies, to which we invited also local people from Mersin. The fourth Digital Youth project is successfully over and we are already thinking of suitable places for the next one...
You can watch the movies, which we made, on our YouTube channel.
