Promote image education as a tool for the inclusion of children in precarious and migratory situations

EduKino wants to promote basic skills for children and professionals, in compliance with the desire of the European Commission to foster the development of key competences at all ages.

The objectives of the EduKino project are:

• encourage recovery and resilience for cultural, artistic and educational actors
• for the children: 1) initiate an intellectual work around image and its production, and to open them to a field they know little about but crucial to their citizen life, 2) strengthen their self-confidence by leading them to value and share their knowledge and skills through playful workshops leading them to acquire new skills
• for teachers and educators: opportunity to gain skills to raise awareness and accompany children and their families to the uses of image and audiovisual media

The project consortium is composed of seven organisations from four corners of Europe:

• AFEJI from France (Project coordinator)
• APROXIMAR- COOPERATIVA DE SOLIDARIEDADE SOCIAL from Portugal
• No Place Productions from the United Kingdom
• Cinéligue from France
• Asociatia Profesionala Neguvernamentala de Asistenta Sociala ASSOC from Romania
