Youth exchange German-Turkish Digital
DIGITAL GYOP PROJECT
in 2021
“Get Your Own Picture” is an intercultural youth exchange that allows the participants to make their own short films.
After getting to know each other, the theoretical basics will be explained. Experienced filmmakers will guide us in practical online workshops that focus primarily on film-production with simple technical equipment, e.g., smartphones and collaborative tools for digital cooperation.
The participants will then be divided into small international groups and make their own films after developing the ideas and the story of the film together. We have to reach milestones we mutually agree on and ensure that at least 2 actors from both countries play in each film.
The project can be carried out in small local groups on-site or as a “stay at home” project. The meetings will take place mostly in the evening or on weekends to reach as many potential participants as possible.
Countries: Germany and Turkey
Kickoff: 12th – FEBRAUARY 2021 – 16:00 (German time) [18:00 Turkish time]
The group will select individual meetings.
Participants: 28

The main aim of the workshop?
The main aim is to give them an understanding of films as a medium for expressing opinion and participation. They will deal with the differences and similarities between the cultures and will go into detail with the youth’s interests. Participants will become aware of their shared historical roots and can experience interculturalism. We have already carried out this project in countless variations with several partners and countries in the past. Now we want to show that we can make films together while staying at home.
