DOKUFEST PRESENTS TEACHER'S DIGITAL LIBRARY
Photographs from the early workshops in 2018 reminded the DokuFest team of their years-long efforts to integrate film into educational curricula.
They used the pandemic period to improve the technical aspects, and thanks to the support from the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation, and collaboration with the education faculties of the universities of Prishtina and Prizren, they launched the "Digital Library" platform on June 4, which they refer to as the Netflix for teachers.
At the presentation of this digital library, which will be launched in September, attendees included the representative of the Swedish Embassy in Kosovo, Mrs. Valentina Qarri; the head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Mr. Michael Davenport; the head of the minister's cabinet, Mrs. Bora Shpuza; as well as many teachers and other participants.
This library is designed to be a rich and easy-to-use resource for teachers in public schools in Kosovo.
The platform includes films and worksheets based on international models, adapted to our educational curricula.
As the main partner, DokuFest has contributed to a rich archive of around 200 films produced over the past 15 years.
These films, created by young people for young people, address various social and educational topics, offering a new and fresh perspective for students.
In the meantime, with the help of teachers who participated in the workshops, they managed to create around 130 worksheets as didactic material, all adapted to the curricular framework of the Republic of Kosovo.
More than 350 teachers have registered to use this platform. By registering, they gain unlimited access to these resources, all of which are offered for free.
Our collaboration will continue with the training of teachers for the effective use of the digital library, bringing significant innovation in the teaching and learning process.
"The film school 'Future is Here' at DokuFest has built my skills in using professional editing software. These have helped me to professionally engage at the Media Center of Jacobs University in Germany, where I have been creating multimedia content for scientific communication for the last two years."
