27th Arab Children Congress - final mobile film screened

Thanks!
For the first time this year’s Congress introduced a film workshop. Screen literacy is very important, and it is the universal language that we and generations to come are going to be using for quite a while into the future. Communicating effectively in pictures and sound is very important if we are to transform our lives.
The choice for this pilot was mobile camera phones – a tool which teens like and use anyway, and we explored how to make this mobile more powerful for us by using it to express our point of view, document a situation or help us reflect. It’s a way for us to see, hear and express differently, and hopefully with impact. It’s also a process aimed at empowering anyone to speak out and believe they can change the world and actually do so. It’s a process that embraces the shift from legacy media towards citizen voices, in a responsible way that embraces positive human values and a collaborative spirit.

Basically, we had tons of fun playing with mobile camera phones during the Congress as we explored what they can do for us.

this is a great initiative!
keep up the good work!
