My participation in KayaFest in 2003, both as a<br />
Cypriot journalist and as a member of <strong>AEGEE</strong>, has<br />
been a very important chance for me. KayaFest<br />
organised by <strong>AEGEE</strong>-Ankara, gave many young<br />
participants and the world the opportunity to<br />
have an understanding of the meaning of peace<br />
between communities right at the crossroads of<br />
history, friendship and <strong>dialogue</strong>.<br />
In the Documentary Workshop I attended, I worked<br />
with the documentary making team for one week<br />
together with Greek and Turkish professionals and<br />
amateurs. Apart from the pleasure, as a Cypriot<br />
I had the chance to work and create with people<br />
from Turkey and Greece belonging to different<br />
cultures and religions.<br />
Our workshop combined theory with practice, and left a very memorable result:<br />
a short documentary of the festival with all the social and cultural elements.<br />
The documentary was totally shot and edited in the village in the course of the<br />
festival by the workshop participants and leaders; eventually displayed to all<br />
the KayaFest participants on the final day of the festival.<br />
The workshop turned out to be successful not only thanks to the directors,<br />
cameramen, academics or communication students present, but also thanks to<br />
other young people who were not trained on these issues yet were enthusiastic<br />
about Turkish-Greek <strong>dialogue</strong>, in the festival and in the documentary making<br />
as such. The workshop participants had the chance to learn technical details<br />
of movie making as well as the chance to work as directors, interviewers,<br />
