Project Manager 'De små børn møder filmen'

• Mar 2012 - Oct 2014

In 2012 The Danish Film Institute and Kulturregion Fyn implemented an ambitious media literacy project called 'De små børn møder filmen' (Small children meet film) for preschool children in the region of Fyn. The goal was to provide preschoolers the opportunity to experience, understand and create film by offering tailored short film cinema screening as well as fundamental film/animation training for teachers. As Project Manager I was responsible for designing and implementing the project from A-Z and forming long lasting partnerships across ten municipalities with local pre-schools, cinemas, libraries and educators. The project became a great success and is still running. During the project's first year more than 10.000 children had their first cinema experience watching carefully selected short films and learning about cinematic language. Show less
