VISYON’s Youth Mobility was successfully implemented in Athens, Greece. Between February 17th and 23rd more than 40 moviemaking enthusiasts took part in this exciting activity aimed at promoting the European Youth Goals through the art of filmmaking. Young people from eight different countries Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Spain were engaged in diverse activities focused on leadership skills, teamwork, creativity and scriptwriting to help them organize the actual filming process.
During the first half of the mobility participants created two compelling scripts – one representing European Youth Goal #5 Mental Health and Wellbeing and one focused on European Youth Goal #9 Space and Participation for All. A plenty of different departments were formed (Hair & MakeUp, Props, Locations, Camera & Sound, Acting Department, Scheduling and Script Breakdown) to enable the young VISYONers to show their personal talents, artistic and organizational skills.
During the second half of the youth mobility (days 5, 6 and 7) the participants welcomed the team of Tanino Films (Production Company based in Italy) – Gaetano (director), Alessandro (camera) and Mauro (sound). Under their guidance began the most important part – the filming process.
During the mobility two short movies – “The harder they fall” and “Take the leap” – were successfully filmed. Not only did the young VISYONers dive into the art of filmmaking, but they also created long-lasting connections and exciting memories. Participants expressed themselves through a youth-led social media campaign completed during the mobility. The next step of VISYON’s implementation are the local filming sessions during which nine more short films will be completed.
