The Documentary
Another main output of the project was the production of a documentary that would reflect and capture the essence of the project. Storytelling and audio-visual tools were among the methods that we worked and explored during the project activities across all countries.
We have calculated approximately more than 10.000 minutes of raw footage across the activities and the videos that were produced in the project.
The series of video episodes sum up the project’s impact journey, and reflections from the project coordinators, and participants. The episodes have been divided in three acts: ACT I – Holding Space, ACT II – Taking Space, ACT III – Expanding Space, and mirror the book chapters and the holistic project journey.
Currently the first two episodes are available online, while the third episode is still under production.
Activate Youth – Act I – Holding Space is the first episode in the 3-part documentary series, which captures the backstage moments of the three years project journey across six European countries, communities, and realities.
In this first act, the coordinators look back on the impact of the project, the important role of non-formal learning, and the moments that shaped the journey. These reflections reveal the work and the beauty of holding space. For learning, connection, growth and creating meaningful change in our local communities and beyond. This is our story behind the process. The episode includes the reflections from the team that were filmed at the last Transnational Partners Meeting in Estonia, and compiles moments from the main learning activities.
Activate Youth – Act II – Taking Space is the second episode in the 3-part documentary series, which captures the backstage moments of the three years project journey across six European countries, communities, and realities.
In this second act, participants from the learning activities reflect on the impact of “non-formal learning” as a tool for activism for queer communities, the methods explored and the moments that shaped their growth. These stories show what it means to take space. To be present, to be held, to belong, and to actively shape the communities they are part of. This is their story through their voices. The episode is a compilation of videos from the reflections from the main learning activities of the project over the years.
