SCRIPTS
In Module 3 students wrote scripts for a short film. In the 3rd short-term training session
in Helsinki, Finland, May 2016 the scripts were exchanged at random, so that each
partner school was assigned to make a film on a partner’s script. The films were
presented in the 4th short-term training session in Vitoria, Spain, November 2015.
Many of them were based on real cases of bullying in our schools. The students
were asked to provide positive solutions to sometimes complicated matters and in all
cases the solutions were imaginative or surprising and relieving. The scripts are
characterised by versatility of techniques and approaches and through them we can see
the diversity of cultures in Europe but also the way these cultures intersect and interact.
Script writing, in many cases, seems to be a perfect method of learning by doing,
cooperative learning and peer education. During the activity in some schools, the basic
idea was presented by a student, the plot was written step by step in team work, and by
trial and error, (concerning what sounds natural and is heard in our schools or the
potential time needed for the film which would follow), the script was completed.
The end products (the films) can be viewed on the Erasmus Minus Bullying YouTube
channel: ERASMUS MINUS BULLYING.
