MEDIA PEDAGOGY WORKSHOPS IN SARAJEVO

Since we witness (non)culture of violence permeating entire society <strong>TPO Foundation</strong> decided to join forces with teachers from three cantons and do something about prevention and reduction of violence at B&H schools. After sucessfully implemented media pedagogy workshops in Mostar and Tuzla a meeting with Sarajevo teachers followed. Together with the team from the <strong>Centre of Cultural and Media Decontamination</strong> teachers converted their experiences and anecdotes into future films that will be used in educational process and to raise awareness about violence.

After they learned about basics of montage and framing, film narration, basics of use audio and video technologies needed for filming of short videos and films, so-called ‘social spots’, teachers did the practical part where they shared their experiences and stories about violence. After the filming invitations for the same workshops with students followed.
