CrAL Project Leaflet
The leaflet promotes project aims, objectives, activities, and outcomes. It is available in 6 languages (English, Croatian, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian and Spanish) and two formats (format for digital communication and format for printing).
Training course instructional document
The training course instructional document (O2.1) is a fundamental tool for the adaptation and upscaling of the methodology “Creative Audiovisual Writing and Reading” developed as a result of the research carried out within the Laboratory of Image and Creative Writing held at the University “La Sapienza” of Rome by Annio Gioacchino Stasi and Mery Tortolini. It is addressed to the partners who pilot the methodology in each country, but also to other organisations interested in testing the methodology in their own context.
It is developed in English and translated in Italian, Spanish, Greek, Croatian and Lithuanian.
Special emphasis is put on the structure of the blended course for teachers and trainers, where the instructional design model is explained. The methodology “Creative Audiovisual Writing and Reading” is also provided. Ten modules grouped in four sections are defined. The learning outcomes, learning materials and assignments are detailed. The document includes a proposed schedule for carrying out the face-to-face training activities.
The main learning outcomes of the Creative Audiovisual Lab have an impact on both teacher and students.
Teachers:
• acquire an innovative methodology based on audiovisual education which can be integrated into their daily work with students
• learn how to channel students’ creativity into a process of self-awareness, construction of their own identity and role in the society
• acquire transversal skills to foster inclusive and constructive group dynamics, essential for the creation of a collective artistic product
• Improve or acquired digital skills
Students:
• acquire technical and transversal skills needed to produce audiovisual content
• become active players in the production of media content on selected topics
• acquire skills such as active communication, collaboration, creativity, problem solving, critical thinking and self-confidence
• acquire greater awareness of themselves and their social context and self-confidence
• understand the potential of audiovisual language as a tool for interpreting the world around them and artistic expression.

Audiovisual content produced by young people
During their participation in the Creative Audiovisual Lab, young people produced audiovisual contents (films) that are showcased on the CrAL platform. They were projected locally at dedicated events, and participated in the national and international video contests. These films are available here: https://platform.cral-lab.eu/videos/
