Programme

‘Cinema en curs’ is a structural programme for primary and secondary schools on film pedagogy.
Initiated in 2005 in Catalonia, it currently takes place in Galicia, Madrid, Argentina, Chile and Germany as well.

‘Cinema en curs’ has two main purposes:

  • Fostering the discovery of cinema, understood as art, creation and culture, by children and young people.
  • Developing the pedagogical potential of the cinematographic creation in an educational context.


The programme is articulated based on four main strands:

  • The regular and continuous presence of filmmakers at schools conducting workshops together with teachers, during school hours.
  • The articulation of the discovery of the cinematographic art based on a methodology that links closely the creative practices with the film viewing.
  • Teacher training.
  • The construction of the project as a laboratory of applied research: a space for reflection and experimentation. Based on the analysis of the experiences of the workshops, the team of filmmakers and teachers elaborate proposals, materials and methodologies that are extensive to different pedagogical contexts.
