The project "Teknicholor - Traditional ecological knowledge & film education" is inspired by the twofold educational mission of introducing young people to the iconosphere of audiovisual language, while raising awareness of the subject expressed by goal 13 of the UN 2030 Agenda, namely mitigating the effects of climate change.
As traditional ecological knowledge is mainly based on oral transmission, the innovative and technological potential of audiovisuals is an effective means of involving young people in the discovery and enhancement of this knowledge and skills, both on a local and international scale. The project also envisages a training proposal for the educational community to stay up-to-date on innovative film education, audience development, and environmental education methodologies.

A.1. - Contemporary photography workshops: photography pathway aimed at creating: a) collective film storyboard; b) exhibition and publication.
A.2. - Documentary and animated film workshops for the production of a collective film capable of enhancing traditional local ecological knowledge: a) film education and environmental education; b) shooting; c) post-production; d) restitution, dissemination and distribution.
