Art can play an important role as it is free from language and cultural understanding.<\/p>\n Therefore the goal of the project was to give an open and save space for about eight youngsters of the Soldinger Kiez (neighborhood in Berlin- Wedding) for getting to know each other, for self expression, and to give them chances to experiment with different forms of art. All that regardless their cultural background, their origin or german language skills. Another goal was to give youngsters the opportunity to have a space to reflect on their very own histories, dreams and to express them artistically through the making of a movie.<\/p>\n Methods:<\/strong><\/p>\n Methods we used during the workshop consisted of :<\/p>\n Playful group activities ( games- feedback rounds etc.) at the beginning of each day<\/p>\n Artistic mind mapping in order to create impulses and ideas for the movies.<\/p>\n Introduction to filming<\/p>\n Screening of film examples to show in which way the movies could get produced.<\/p>\n Free space to create their very own time to realize the film scripts.<\/p>\n Music for the ambiance<\/p>\n Possibility of dinning together at the end of the workshop<\/p>\n Cooperations:<\/strong><\/p>\n Berliner Tafel: Food donations<\/p>\n Aktionsfund Soldiner Kiez: Money for project<\/p>\n PA 58( House project): Workshop space<\/p>\n Theaterfabrik Berlin : Technician and technical support<\/p>\n Cristina: video artist<\/p>\n Tatjana : stage designer<\/p>\n Outcome:<\/strong><\/p>\n The workshop was a success.<\/p>\n In the end up to ten youngsters participated greatly during the week and produced two short silent movies of max 2 min. -\u201c I love you\u201d and \u201cthe crying horse\u201d.<\/p>\n We had a two days open exhibition with the constant screening of the movies and with artifacts produced during the workshop.The youngsters were happy with the movies and proudly presented them to their families and friends\u2026<\/p>\n Visitors appreciated the work\u2026 & we were exhausted but happy ?<\/p>\n Here some points we would like to discuss<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cTarget group\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n How to reach the \u201ctarget group\u201d? And in case the \u201ctarget group\u201d is heterogenous- how to make them more interested in meeting the \u201cother\u201d?<\/p>\n We tried to reach these youngsters by inviting them via their youth house, living projects and refugee camps ( always in contact with a responsible).But regardless our engagement we were not able to mix youngster from the the different organizations.
