Upcoming projects

Film Beyond Borders was a two-part youth exchange project in partnership with the Associazione Bianconero in Italy and Sinema Okuryazarları Derneği (SOYAD) in Turkey; it was approved by the National Agency Erasmus+ UK!

The first leg of the youth project took place in Trento, Italy, in September 2022 and coincided with the Religion Today Film Festival.
The second leg of Film Beyond Borders was held in November 2022 in the UK in parallel to the Taste of Anatolia Film Festival.

The trips included activities that gave an introduction to organising film festivals and societies. Learning centred on the idea of film as a tool for social change and participants gained many transferable skills that could be used for future education, training, and employment purposes.

Participants had to be aged 18–30. Accommodation and catering were provided by the project funded by Erasmus+. Flight costs were reimbursed after successful completion of the project.

Our ‘Climate Action’ project was approved by Erasmus+! Its planning meeting took place in Brindisi, Italy, in June 2022. The project aimed to raise ecological awareness in Europe and educate young people on the topic of climate change and environmental protection. We chose to work in Italy as it was leading the education for young people with compulsory education around climate change in schools. Another goal of the project was to involve young people in taking action and show them that they could have a real impact on policymakers in their own country. The main exchange took place in Antalya, Turkey, in June 2023. Partners educated the young people during this project with hands-on activities and theoretical knowledge that provided them with tools to become young climate advocates and activists. The participants wrote, directed, shot, and acted in a short film raising ecological and climate awareness.

Our partners were AMEİFA, Antalya Orkidelerini ve Biyolojik Çeşitliliği Koruma Derneği in Antalya, and Naukleros in Brindisi.
