Camera. Action. Promotion. Impact

‘Camera. Action. Promotion. Impact’ is a training course which will take place in Nafplion, Greece. TC will teach youth workers how to create quality video projects on a tight budget from trainers with experience in the TV & Movie industry.

The project ‘Camera. Action. Promotion. Impact’ is a training course financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+. The six countries participating in the project are represented by NGOs and informal groups from Greece, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Romania, and the UK.

Many organisations (NGOs, charities, businesses, etc) use self-produced videos to promote themselves and their projects. Unfortunately, these videos often fail to make the impact that was hoped for them because they lack the polish and professional quality needed to grab the attention of their audience. Making a video is easy, but making a good video takes knowledge, skills and hard work.

TC ‘Camera. Action. Promotion. Impact’ has following objectives:
• Increase competencies on efficient techniques, means and possibilities of video-production among participants of this training course.
• To learn modern programmes and platforms supporting video creation, promotion and dissemination as well as the basic rules of it such as respect to Copyright, Creative Commons etc, among participants of this training course.
• To raise willingness to make a positive change in their communities and develop empathy towards people with fewer opportunities, among participants of this training course.
• After the period of this training course, participants will gain more confidence in digital skills, whilst learning new ones that will stay with them long after the project has finished.

This training course is primarily aimed at youth workers and anyone who works with young people (young people are aged under 30 years) and who wish to improve their video-making skills for the benefit of young people. It is also open to people who work or volunteer for charities, NGOs and social groups and who wish to improve their video-making skills for the benefit of these organisations.

The participants will attend training sessions built around non-formal education methods. These will begin at the preparation stage of the project and continue through the implementation phase to the evaluation and follow-up. This means participants must be ready to engage with others, or at least willing to push their comfort zones a little.

During the project’s major activity we will be working with 6 charities and NGOs local to Athens/ Nafplion. Our participants will use the knowledge and skills they have learnt in earlier sessions to produce promotional videos for these organisations.
