Focus on the Future: European Dialogues on Film Education

Why does film and media education matter? How do different European countries envision its future? And what can we do today to ensure audiovisual literacy becomes a natural part of education across Europe in the next decade?

Experts in film education from the Visegrad Four countries, along with educators from the Netherlands and Germany, will come together for a panel discussion to share experiences, national strategies, and perspectives on film and media education. Together, they'll explore common ground, identify challenges, and seek opportunities for collaboration—aiming to shape a shared vision for the future of film education in Europe.

The discussion will offer a behind-the-scenes look into diverse educational systems, open up conversations about institutional support, and outline tangible steps that can strengthen the role of film and media education across the continent. 

This panel is open to teachers, educational institutions, professionals in the field, and anyone passionate about film and audiovisual literacy. The programme will be held in English and translated into Czech.

Speakers:

• Jasper Vreken (the Netherlands) – Documaken
• Daniela Nicklisch (Germany) 
• Christian Dirksen (Germany) – IGS Herder
