From the Cinematic Experience to the Learning Process: Utilizing the Results of the REBOOT Project and Best Practices in Film Education

Seminar for Secondary School Teachers at the ‘Athens International Children’s Film Festival’

How can teachers use cinema as a tool for understanding the modern world?
The seminar presents findings and best practices from the European project REBOOT (Reviving, Boosting, Optimising and Transforming European Film Competitiveness), which focuses on young people’s film preferences and viewing habits across Europe. Through the exchange of experiences, practical examples, and creative activities, participating teachers will explore ways to integrate cinema into their teaching, fostering students’ critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and intercultural understanding.
