Media Cottage, dec 2008

Mladinska izmenjava Media Cottage

Mednarodna mladinska izmenjava bo potekala od 9. do 16. decembra 2008 na idilični lokaciji na Veliki planini pri Kamniku. Medkulturna mladinska izmenjava "Media cottage" je projekt znotraj programa Mladina v Akciji in bo potekala na Veliki planini v bližini Kamnika v Sloveniji. Glavna tema izmenjave bo medkulturni dialog skozi multimedijske delavnice (video, fotografija in internet). Udeleženci izmenjave bodo dobili osnovno tehnično znanje, ki ga bomo lahko uporabili pri "izražanju" svojih idej v medijih. Večino aktivnosti bomo dodatno začinili z izleti na čistem zraku v zimski naravi Velike planine.
Delavnice se bodo začenjale s kratkim teoretičnim delom, potem pa bodo udeleženci kreirali svoje kratke filme in fotografije na temo medkulturnega dialoga, stereotipov, ipd. Video in foto skupine bodo neposredno povezane in bodo "internetni" skupini prispevale material za objavo.
V načrtu imamo tudi ekskurzijo po planini, po Kamniku in izlet v bližnje toplice. Po končani izmenjavi bodo udeleženci predstavili svoje delo skozi razstavo, film in preko spletne strani.

The multilateral youth exchange “Media cottage” is a project within the Youth in Action program and will take place on the mountain of Velika planina near Kamnik, Slovenia. The main theme of the project will be intercultural dialogue through multimedia workshops (video, photography and internet). Participants will get a basic technical knowledge on how to use media to express their ideas and learn how to perceive media from a critical point of view. We will “spice” it with many activities in the nature on a fresh winter mountain air.
Workshops will begin with a short theoretical part. Then participants will have to create short movies and photo stories based on they own ideas about intercultural dialogue, stereotypes, etc. Video and photo groups will work closely together and prepare the material for the web page group. There will be a kind of reality show based on interesting games and tasks.
We are planning an excursion around the mountain, to the town and to the spa. After the exchange participants will present their work as an exhibition, movie and web page.
