Film education in schools for general education - PÖFF in School
The main goal of this project is to promote film studies and to bring film education to schools for general education. There are currently more than 400 schools for general education in Estonia, where more than 200,000 children and young people study. As film is one of the most consumed mediums, it’s teaching, like other subjects, is very important today. Most Estonian schools do not offer film studies today.
In addition to increasing students’ knowledge of film, it is also important to train teachers as to how to use film in education and to introduce the possibilities of integrating film art as a means of expression with other subjects. Increasing the competence of teachers reduces the need for a separate film teacher, but at the same time increases the possibility that film education will remain in schools.
