Project summary

n a complex world, with great challenges,more interconnected than ever, the look of teenagers must be amplify because, in it, we can find the keys to a better future. Our project, "With teen eyes", seeks to channel the voice of teenagers through attractive tools such as producing short films or social networks and internet. It aims to create products whose impact can be far realized, and by education of social awareness, active citizenship and entrepreneurial culture. We will focuss in strengthening skills acquired in formal learning, and developing other more typical of non formal and informal education. The dynamics of activities is the same more or less both years. They are based on three aspects, depending on the typr of activity: forming for the project (on issues such as creativity, visual language, recording and editing tools, or entrepreneurial culture); creating our products (including transnational teams participating in meetings to film) and spreading activities (festivals taking place at local and international level, through the broadcast network...). The main methodology is based on empowering young people, making them protagonists and tending to organise as social and cooperative enterprises.We'll pay special attention to non-formal and informal education to provided to break the academic approach to formal education and get closer and closer to the adolescent identity. The expected learning outcomes are varied, from the acquisition of new skills, improving acquired ones to the personal development. The final products, short films, will be born with a vocation to be widespread, to communicate the messages that teenangers want to tell to the World. The impact, therefore, is beautifully unexpected. This project was created with the vocation of continuity in many ways. The use of new technologies, allows the project to go on once finished the grant. Moreover, in these two years, we will try to collaborate with other entities that can take over the sponsorship in a future.

Final report summary

The project "With teen eyes" arises after the experience carried out in the CDP Santa María de los Ángeles, in the missing subject Integrated Project, in which different social issues are already addressed, with an active approach, through the use of short films as a product final.After having had two partners in Comenius projects, the International Department of the CDP plans to establish a partnership as a coordinating center. The search for partners is carried out through the Etwinning platform and, after presenting the project in two calls, it is finally approved in the third one, in 2017. The objectives of this surgical association after a survey conducted among the students of the participating centers, where we detected that adolescents consider that their voice has to be heard, that they can contribute a lot to society, and that they believe that audiovisual language is very effective.

In total, we have been six participating centers, all of post-compulsory secondary education, both general and professional. They have made a total of 475 students and 32 teachers involved.The activities carried out have been: - at a local level, the centers have produced short films and observed their methodological use; It should be noted that four centers have included the project in the curriculum, two not, with effects on student involvement; - At the international level, we have repeated the schedule of meetings in both courses, which has allowed us to improve some aspects in the second year. Each year, we have held two meetings, one training, in which we have addressed issues such as auditory language, techniques and performance and another in international teams (with one student per center), have produced short films. It has been completed with three coordination meetings. About 60 short films have been produced, of which we have published about 40 (for quality reasons) and a manual for the use of short films as a methodological tool. The impact has been very positive on the participants, who considered that they have improved their linguistic, digital and creative skills, and that allowed them to learn more about certain problems in the documentation phase; It also highlights the learning involved in a short film project in terms of teamwork.
