CINEFORUM

The CINE-forum project aims to use movies as a tool for non-formal education to raise awareness about various social and environmental topics through cinema and debate activities. The project has two main objectives: to promote the film as a non-formal education tool for educators to stimulate adults' thinking about selected topics, encouraging them to take action to benefit their communities. By using movies as a new educational tool, the project will create new learning opportunities for citizens of all ages, making film-based education an exciting concept. The project aims to produce a more inclusive and sustainable society, tackling social discrimination, diversity and environmental degradation and encouraging citizens to take action to create equitable and responsive communities.

Project outputs 

The methodology used for the development of the Toolkit are:

- Non-formal education (NFE) methodology

NFE is based on active participation (doing, experiencing). A central part of the learning process is self-reflection. Exercises in NFE are experiential (for example, simulations and role-plays).

NFE helps learners to become more self-assured and accountable. NFE uses interactive and realistic methods to help students grasp different perspectives. It should give each learner enough time and space to practice new skills while also showing respect for the other participants. It can be easily adapted to all topics with proactive methods; even the most delicate ones are handled with the highest care.

- Film-based education methodology

The most important part of teaching with films is the depth of the emotional connection the learner gains from documentaries and how this connection has a profound impact on the entire personality and behavior of the learner usually inspiring him/her to ACT.

Using movies in teaching effectively engages learners' affective domain, promotes reflection, and connects learning to experiences. Movies create an emotional and imagery-based narrative model that is familiar and non-threatening, making them helpful in teaching the human dimension required for developing as human beings and building identity in young and adult learners. The movie learning scenario allows teaching points to be made quickly and directly with specific scenes, facilitates the integration of emotions in the viewing experience, and helps learners understand and recognise the main messages regarding attitudes and human values. By fostering reflection, movies stimulate discussion about the breadth of human experience and elicit profound conflicts and concerns about learners' future professional roles and personal lives. The goal of using films in teaching is to promote reflection and provide a forum for discussion, not to show how to incorporate a particular attitude. Learners have the opportunity to "translate" life stories from movies into their own lives, creating a new learning process that acts as an emotional memory for developing attitudes and allows them to proceed through daily activities.
