EcoDocu 2023 - training course in Barcelona (Spain)

The EcoDocu project was a training course that took place from 11 to 20 February 2023 in Barcelona, Spain. The aim of the project was to train youth leaders and professionals in the creation of documentary films for environmental education. The participants came from nine different European countries such as Spain, Germany, Greece and Ukraine.

The course offered a variety of activities including exploring visual ecosystems, green screen techniques and documentary film editing. Participants learnt how to effectively communicate environmental issues through film while promoting critical thinking.

The project emphasised international collaboration and the development of a network to promote sustainable practices. Participants were expected to apply and share the knowledge gained in their home countries in order to strengthen environmental education and awareness of sustainability.

By combining environmental education and film production, EcoDocu provided a unique platform for transformative learning and intercultural exchange. Participants returned to their home countries with enhanced skills and a strengthened commitment to environmental issues, ready to implement their newly acquired knowledge in local projects.
