Crafting new creatives
Our educational activities are built to give high school students the tools and knowledge to analyse and create social-impact audiovisual works. Projects merge various methodologies and practices with the objective of providing students with the means to not only be aware and critical spectators but above all to fully understand the mechanisms that make cinema a powerful communicative language, with a focus on the transformative capacity of creativity.

FILM FOR OUR FUTURE (PCTO) - 2021
The educational project was organised in collaboration with the Human Rights Festival of Milan and involved the Alessandro Manzoni High School. The project, spanning 35 hours, engaged five classes from the institute in a comprehensive exploration of human rights and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals through audiovisual media. The educational project encompassed various activities, including the creation of a series of civically oriented podcasts, the participation in the EDU Section of the Human Rights Festival (2022), the screening of social-impact short films, a workshop on film reviewing, the in-class viewing of a selection of short films, the participation in the Duemila30 festival (2022), and a collaborative group work aimed at creating video-format reviews of the viewed short films.

AMBASSADORS PROGRAMME - 2019 & 2022
The project consisted in a specific programme dedicated to high school students during the 2019 and 2022 edition of the Duemila30 Festival. The objective was to transfer to the participating students the tools to understand: the dynamics behind social impact video campaigns, the power of cinema to shape people's minds, and cinema's ability to call audiences to action. Participants had the chance to apply their knowledge by planning a film-related social event for their local communities and by developing a visual call for action for the SDGs. The Ambassadors also had the opportunity to learn new skills on the audiovisual language, through theoretical and practical workshops. A group of the Ambassadors in the 2019 edition of the festival followed a programme dedicated to the analysis of short films and the writing and shooting of a video review, in collaboration with MyMovies.it.
