EDUCATING 4 EQUALITY

Outcomes

Over 3,500 high school students have participated directly in countering violence and discrimination based on gender and sexual identity through film and media literacy, throughout the Educating 4 Equality project. The project initially was designed to have 20 teachers and 2000 students as direct participants in the project, but due to the interest of teachers and students, the number of participants increased. DokuFest is accredited by the Ministry of Education and Science, for professional development (training) of teachers, meeting the criteria of AI 06/2017 which is selected by the State Council for Teacher Licensing. 40 students participated in the development of content and storytelling that oppose gender discrimination, sexual orientation and other negative social effects. Students created three short storytelling videos that directly presented the concerns of high school students. The project has further enriched the Teachers Digital Library, which is accessible for use to all schools and teachers in the country. From the initial plan of a minimum of four facilitator guides during the project application period, 17 new facilitator guide have been developed for the Teachers' Digital Library.

"The documentary film school has taught me how to channel my thoughts and how to dream. I've learned to see the world through different eyes and to find inspiration to tell a story in every corner of my life. Since then, I've never stopped making films because the inspiration, will, and knowledge I've gained accompany me every day in my life."
