Throughout the program, the group was surveying practitioners and organisations for their views on what was needed for a more sustainable film education sector in Europe. We surveyed 70 national organizations and key players in European film education, the participants in the Massive Open Online Course, and spoke to the 200+ participants in the four regional seminars.
In overall terms, our research has revealed more than 160 European organizations currently involved in some sort of film education activity. These can range from small NGO’s that deal with a handful of participants to film institutes who deliver nationwide programs involving hundreds of teachers and thousands of young people. Over 70 of these organizations have participated in projects funded by Creative Europe.
There is an over-abundance of activity which engages young people with film, through study, screening programs, and creative activities; through online activities, face to face meetings, streaming sites, print and DVD materials; and through audience participation – in the classrooms, in the cinemas or in other on-site venues.
In addition to the range and diversity of project activity, we conclude that there is in place a large and growing informal network of film education practitioners that stretches from the Black Sea to the Atlantic, and from the Baltic to the southern Mediterranean.
The organizations work for continuous delivery of high quality film education activities. They depend on support from strong and visionary national institutes, as well as on the European cross-border network, that can share experience and promote cooperation beyond national boundaries. Film Education in Europe has a great potential, often an unexplored one, and it faces challenges and issues, which call for European solutions. This is addressed in the survey report.
