We aim to engage students with real-world issues in a safe and supportive environment, while raising awareness of key social topics through a new approach.
Our primary tool is documentary film, which we complement with field-based knowledge gathering, film screenings, and interactive workshops.
By developing a curriculum that integrates documentaries into school education, we equip teachers and educators with a practical resource to shape young people’s perspective —helping guide them back to reality before it’s too late.
The project’s main target group is high school teachers who are committed to addressing social issues in their classrooms and are open to incorporating documentary films into their teaching practices.
