Film and Story for Every Child
From a story read to a story told through film.
We are preparing an education programme that connects film, reading and audiovisual creation for children aged 10–14, prioritising those who face barriers in accessing cultural activities.
The concept includes film-education workshops, film and reading meetings in communities, hands-on creative exercises and activities within BKFF. Children will be able to explore how a story is built through image, sound and editing, then work on their own ideas.
WHAT THE PROGRAMME INCLUDES
Four ways into the story
Film-education workshops
How a story is built through image, sound and editing.
Film and reading in communities
Meetings that take the book and the film to places with limited access to cultural activities.
Hands-on creative exercises
Children work on their own ideas and carry them through to a finished piece.
Activities within BKFF
The programme connects to the festival, where children meet films and creators.
CONTINUITY
What remains after the last workshop.
The programme is also designed for continuity: reusable resources and working sessions with teachers or youth workers, so that some of the activities can be run again.
The programme's audience is children aged 10–14, distinct from the festival's main audience of 8–12. Each activity will have its own age recommendation.
FOR FUNDERS
What a partner can fund
The workshops, children's participation, travel to communities, training the facilitators, the educational materials and the programme's evaluation.
What we want to follow
Understanding of film language, confidence in creative expression and the experience of taking part. Results will be assessed through age-appropriate instruments, used before and after the activities for which that comparison is relevant.
THE PROGRAMME'S STATUS
The concept is defined and the activities are proposed for 2027.
The calendar, the scale and the locations will be confirmed once funding and implementation partners are in place.
We do not yet have a confirmed funder for this programme.
HOW THIS LINKS TO OUR IMPACT AREAS
The programme pursues learning through film and reading and access for children who face barriers, together with schools, local organisations and funding partners.
We are building the programme together with a funder
