Objectives

The project "Camera Eye: First step to save animals" is a project addressed to young people, who care about animals and want to actively improve their status, and at the same time, whose passion is to create short movies conducting important civic values. The exchange will be held in Poland in the town of Świdnica. The application was written by the MODE foundation for youth from 5 countries. These young people came up with the idea of ​​organizing a project, thanks to which they will be able to meet and share their knowledge about creating video materials dealing with important social problems. Therefore, they asked us for help in its implementation. In our case, it will be a film material referring to the violations of animal rights and violence against them. The main aim of this event is to showcase the biggest problems with inhumane treatment of animals in some countries and teach young people conscious and responsible use of mass media as social values. The duration of the project is 7 days, each of these days was planned in such a way that the young people could learn as much as possible. The last part of the project will be a documentary prepared jointly by the participants, which will allow the interest of outsiders to the problem of animal abuse and the lack of responsibility related to their behaviour. We believe that thanks to the widespread results, people will have a chance to see how important the problem is in our modern world. Related to this is in the wrongful use of mass media and how much harm it can do. In addition, the documentary film created during the youth exchange will have great potential to make people aware of the shameful abandonment and show them the way to eliminate this phenomenon. Thanks to the film created, people unfamiliar with the matter will be able to learn how to read the animal's language and they more aware of animals problems. Our foundation also believes that the documentary created during the exchange will reach across a bigger community thanks to the dissemination of related activities. Our aim is also to make people more open to adopting animals from shelters. Through this exchange we also want to give young people the opportunity to broaden their knowledge about video materials with a social impact. Thanks to this youth exchange, young people will have the opportunity to learn from each other. We will also give them the chance to improve their language skills by working in an international team. The project is also meant to show parents of participants that new media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twiter, etc. can be great platforms to promote socially important attitudes. In the future these platforms could even become a work for their adult children.
