Are you a young person and are extremely aware that an urgent social change is needed? Are you interested in digital communication? Do you want to fight cultural prejudices? It is important to you to live in a inclusive society and respect our differences? The training 'How I see you' is for you!
Jovesólides organises an in-person free workshop on the 12th to 14th of July, between 9am and 12pm. With this training you will discover how being different is something that we all have in common. Also, you will develop your critical senses, you will reflect on your own identity and you will learn to tell your story as you have never heard in the media.
If you take part in this workshop, you will receive creative training about the use of participatory video, nowadays an essential tool to work on the construction of individual and collective identities in the inter-cultural educational framework. All this with the ultimate aim of showing diversity as a positive phenomenon and assessing the representation of various discourses not always present in the media.
This training is aimed at 25 young people and will be carried out in Paterna. You have to be 18 to 24 to participate. The organisation will positively value your social commitment and activism.
If you are interested in taking part in 'How I see you', you can already enroll with this form to get access to the selection process. The closing date to apply will be the 9th of July.
