‘’CINEMATOMEDIA : Teaching Democracy Through Cinema’’

For the purposes of the CINEMATOMEDIA project (101131238 — CINEMATOMEDIA — ERASMUS-YOUTH-2023-CB), democracy is intended in a wider sense.

The concept of democracy includes valuing peace, understanding conflict resolution, promoting gender equality and a culture of freedom, promoting the social inclusion of different people, promoting the communication and common action amongst the members of a society and promoting environmental awareness and an active stance towards the environmental problems.
