«UNFORMATTED WORDS» Workshop by students of LABA Valencia. European project ACDC.
The ACDC European project is a small-scale partnership in the field of school education aiming at the co-creation and validation of teaching and learning materials for climate change education. The project is coordinated by LABA Valencia (Spain) with the collaboration of Casa da Imagem and Agrupamento de Escolas de Cristelo (Portugal).
The students of LABA Valencia have developed four workshops, among them «UNFORMATTED WORDS FOR DISPARATE IMAGES», with very special creative results. All of them are adapted to secondary school students and other young students.
«UNFORMATTED WORDS FOR DISPARATE IMAGES»
This workshop contributes to getting to know the dimension and character of visual communication about climate change in the media, particularly on the Internet. As knowledge is acquired about the wider social discussion on the subject, students will create their own critical perspective by experimenting with the creation of narratives, through word and image and cinema composition techniques. At the same time as exploring the context of climate change, they will understand how the construction of a discourse depends on strategies of representation.
The result is irregular visual/sound devices that translate the unformed and disparate mode of creative thought.
The workshops have been successfully tested by more than 200 students and 20 teachers in Spain and Portugal. The LABA Valencia students involved in the ACDC project are from the BAH in Digital Media and BAH in Photography and video: Michelle Castillo, Joana Soler and Sergio Pons.
