Join our new 'Feel at Home' project
» Whats On Join our new 'Feel at Home' project
Our new national project 'Feel at Home' starts in London. Join us for creative, hands-on workshops where we will explore the possibilities of video-making to tell stories of integration from our perspectives.
We are delighted to announce that the wonderful and talented film-maker Elena Sánchez Bellot will be leading the training in London.
Elena is a Spanish filmmaker living and working in London. Having lived in various countries as a child cemented a love for stories from all around the world. After studying anthropology, her interest in the relationship between storytelling and moving image drove her to study film courses at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and later on carried out an MA in Ethnographic and Documentary Filmmaking. She has been working collaboratively with documentary production companies using photography and video, mainly on public sector commissions.
The creative, hands-on workshops of 'Feel at Home' will explore the possibilities of video-making to tell stories of integration from our perspectives.
The seven workshop sessions will:
· Encourage creative expression through video-making
· Develop practical, introductory video-making skills
· Create powerful audio-visual messages
The workshops will explore the subject of integration from many angles including our own experiences of what helps and hinders the process and what creates a sense of belonging.
Through the workshops, we will create videos with messages around home, integration and belonging as resources for how every one of us can all play a role in making integration happen.
The project is open to all – migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, Britons and those from the host and established communities
When: The course has 7 sessions starting Thursday 21st of March and the following 6 Thursdays 6-8.30pm.
Where: Migrant Voice, Voluntary Action Islington, 200A Pentonville Road, London N1 9JP.
The course is free of charge, but participants must attend all workshops.
The project is part of the Participate.Integration initiative created by Moneygram.
