description of workshops

 

‘Sustainability, Creativity and Pedagogy in Teaching Eco-Screenwriting’: Monika Maslowska, PhD (University of Malta)

 

“Going green” inspires and educates the world of screen production by creating and promoting sustainable working practices. By reducing the environmental impact of filming essentials such as transport, construction, lighting and catering. “Going green” leads screen productions into a greener way of life, but what does it mean for us, the screenwriters and screenwriting teachers? How can we contribute to “going green”?

 

The workshop will explore:

 

  • a better understanding of creativity and sustainability in script development, story design, story world, and character development in green filmmaking
  • climate change and ecology that can be woven into any genre or storyline
  • eco-critical thinking and sustainability issues in creating screen narratives
  • the creative sustainability process from the point of view of the screenwriter training and integration
  • research collaborations that allow students/scriptwriters from the humanities to team up, through projects, with students from the science and social science disciplines
  • the ability to navigate between green marketing and greenwashing
  • the screenwriters write in different geographical locations and – cultural locations, but their works engage with the ways ecological considerations extend and flow across the borders

‘Media, education & social responsibility’ - Ewelina Gutowska-Kozielska, PhD (UG)

How media can provide a great platform for education & contribute to CSR.

Media content can be used for educational purposes & thus contribute to the development of critical thinking as a part of CSR. Media texts can be used for educational purposes in two ways - one, some of them have been created for that purpose, others - when audiences are equipped with proper tools can be used for education independently of the fact whether that was the reason for their creations in the first place. We must remember about the fact that the profile of the recipient, the way of perceiving the world by young people has changed. Students gain knowledge mainly from the media, so it is important to educate them using messages they know. We must use   platforms that are  of interest to  our students  to teach them the content that is of interest to us.
