FRED AT SCHOOL
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

FRED AT SCHOOL is a project aimed at building new audiences and raising awareness of European films among secondary school students (aged 14-16).It will take place in all EU countries, in all EU languages.It will be conducted via screenings in schools, supported by the radio, which will be used as a new way to promote film literacy in all European languages.Students will also be involved in the creation of radio content, in their own native language and in English.The focus of the project, therefore, is not only film literacy, but also training in effective film radio communication.It is an innovative approach to film education, and a fresh approach to building audiences and expanding the audience's choices. FRED will produce a radio program for each school. Such programs will be broadcast on the FRED channel corresponding to the students’ language, and will also be available in podcast for all listeners.The radio broadcasting educational contents will extend film literacy to everyone interested, going beyond the schools themselves - this is why the project itself offers great added value. The project will include a final conference to present the results in the different countries and verify the level achieved in film literacy. Such event will be of interest to all the players in the film industry.Moreover, accessible versions of films aimed at students with hearing and visual impairment will be produced. Following the principles of accessible filmmaking, promoted by the United Nations-Accessibility Focus Group, the films will be made accessible in collaboration with the filmmakers in order to ensure that their vision is maintained in the accessible versions, and to raise awareness amongst filmmakers of the importance of audiovisual accessibility for hearing- and visually-impaired audiences.Thanks to FRED’s project, sensory disable students will have the chance to see the films with the other students in the classroom in a totally inclusive experience.
