El conselleiro de Educación felicita por carta a los autores de "Ainhoa´s story
Un nutrido grupo de estudiantes se congregó ayer en el salón de actos del Castro Alobre para asistir a la ceremonia en la que se proyectó el vídeo reconocido como el mejor de España y el tercero de Europa de un certamen al que concurrían institutos de Alemania, España, Italia, Lituania, Bulgaria y Grecia.
El protagonismo lo acapararon los galardonados. No obstante, en el centro no pasaron por alto el esfuerzo realizado por otros dos grupos de estudiantes que también concurrieron al concurso, y cuyas obras también se visionaron.
Aunque afirman que nunca pensaron ganar nada, el reconocimiento ha insuflado ánimos a Teiga, González y Carregal, que han comenzado a buscar otros certámenes a los que poder presentar nuevos trabajos.
El premio avala el dominio de las técnicas de videocreación de estos tres alumnos, así como sus conocimientos de inglés. "Ainhoa´s story" cuenta, como su título indica, la historia de Ainhoa; una joven de 15 años que padece una enfermedad respiratoria y que, pese a su marcada conciencia ambiental, termina muriendo víctima de la polución de su ciudad. Los tres alumnos se encargaron del guión, la grabación, la interpretación y el montaje del corto.

European
Video Competition: Sustainable Energy and Digital Video
By Luis Lizama, CECE, Spain
In June the
winners of the first “My School and Sustainable Energy” European Video Competition, which falls under the activities of
the Yourvid Save Energy (YSE) project, were announced.
The Yourvid
Save Energy project
is all about finding innovative teaching and learning methods on the topic of
"saving energy and raising understanding of the need for sustainable
energy in schools and society” through a new didactical approach based on Web
2.0 (social networks).
One of the
project’s outputs is the annual edition of this European Competition, which is part-financed
by European Commission and is part of the Sustainable Energy European Campaign (2009-2011), which involves CECE (Spanish
Confederation of Centers for Teaching), the coordinator, as an educational
partner.
The other
partners in the competition are Ave Maria Schools (SP), CSVM (IT), EEN (IT),
UoC (GR), Kolping (DE), Marijampole (LT) and Europartners 2000 (BG), and is part
of the “My School and Sustainable Energy” initiative devoted to training,
education, raising awareness, and showing sustainable actions developed in the
school and local environments, as well as to promoting citizen involvement in
using sustainable energy. It aims to encourage a critical attitude on the part
of the students towards different situations in everyday life, as well as
developing positive and creative responses aimed at solving inefficiencies found
in the use of energy.
Participants
in the competition must come from public or private education centers in the
European Union. The videos that were submitted were between 1 to 3 minutes in
length, included a narration in English and with subtitles in the local
language, and were each related to the topic of sustainability and the urban
environment in the local area. The most popular topics among the many entries
were “Saving energy through clean/renewable energy” and “Climate change”.
Each
country had a 3-member jury composed of an expert on digital video, an expert
on sustainable energy and a teacher, and the judges were very pleased about the
excellent contents overall. Winners were each given one notebook per
participant in the 4 categories of the competition: students of 10 to 12 years,
13 to 16 years, 17 to 18 years, and teachers.
All submitted videos are published on a YouTube
channel, with different
playlists per country, and you can view the competition winners here. For those interested in participating too, the
competition will be organised again in 2012
