With the implementation of the "CINE-forum" project through the use of film and non-formal education, an effort was made to raise awareness of a range of topics through film and stimulate debate activities. Two main objectives were achieved through the implementation of the project: - Objective 1 (01): We promoted the benefit of cinema as a non-formal education tool among educators in order to stimulate adult learners' sense of thinking and initiative; - Objective 2 (O2): We stimulated adults' sense of thinking about specific social issues, with the ultimate goal of stimulating them to take actions that can benefit the communities in which they live. The proposal created and promoted new learning opportunities for all citizens and generations by promoting the use of film as a new non-formal educational tool. By developing adults' sense of thinking and increasing their awareness of the problems plaguing the world, they were stimulated to take action to address them. The CINE-forum project aimed to use films as a non-formal education tool to raise awareness of various social and environmental issues through film and debate activities.
Living for many years in the era of the image, we can understand what an essential role films and documentaries can play in building beliefs and inspiring values through entertainment. The CINE-forum project was just a small brick in constructing a dynamic new adulthood that changes exponentially for the better and, as a result, offers a beneficial presence to the world, leaving it better than it received. At the same time, the project aimed to raise awareness of social issues and relevant topics and thus stimulate engagement in society and active participation. In other words, this funding opportunity has produced multiple values for society, the quality of life of citizens and the environment. The expressed needs of both target groups and organizations were addressed in the following ways: - Through the facilitation of the workshops, - through the interactive cinema, - through the exchange of participants’ ideas and experiences in the project’s period, - through the Toolkit documenting project results and describing the explored methodology for practical usage.
