Youth exchange German-Turkish Digital
“WE DO ENCOUNTER”
Supported By
German-Turkish Youth Bridge
WE WILL PERFORM OUR FIRST DIGITAL GYOP PROJECT IN NOVEMBER!
“Get Your Own Picture” is an intercultural youth exchange that allows the participants to make their own short films on the subject of “Between Reality and Truth.”
We have already carried out this project in countless variations with several partners and countries in the past. Now we want to show that we can make films together while staying at home.
After getting to know each other, the theoretical basics will be explained. Experienced filmmakers will guide us in practical online workshops that focus primarily on film-production with simple technical equipment, e.g., smartphones and collaborative tools for digital cooperation.
The participants will then be divided into small international groups and make their own films after developing the ideas and the story of the film together. We have to reach milestones we mutually agree on and ensure that at least 2 actors from both countries play in each film.
The project can be carried out in small local groups on-site or as a “stay at home” project. The meetings will take place mostly in the evening or on weekends to reach as many potential participants as possible.
Countries: Germany and Turkey
Date: November 13th – December 6th, 2020 – The group will select individual meetings.
Kickoff: November 13th 16:00 (German time) [18:00 Turkish time]
Participants: 28
