Phase 1: Ideation (Design Thinking) (1 day)

Design Thinking is one of the most widely used processes for problem solving, in any field of business. The all-day ‘Design Thinking’ workshop will be a practical session, where all participants will be working together in identifying challenges or issues the youth is currently facing in Kosovo, which they will then use as a theme in their videos. Design Thinking allows us to come up with creative and applicable ideas in solving different problems in the most effective way.

Phase 2: Technology training (2 months)

An intensive training will be held for 2 months, where all participants will gain full knowledge about the video editing software – Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the best video editing software, which allows endless possibilities on editing, without much limitations. Adobe Premiere Pro is used by professionals across the world, for all kinds of productions from business & marketing videos and music videos to documentaries and feature films.

After 2 months of training, with a total of 32 sessions held, you will be able to:

Phase 3: Project implementation and personalized training for the selected projects (6 months)

The implementation phase is divided into 96 sessions, which include practical work on the selected projects and personalized training in video editing.

The filmmaking course is part of a project best described by the chosen motto “Report facts not rumors”, which makes the implementation phase the most important, where all participants will work in presenting their ideas through video. Participants will combine all the gained knowledge from the 2-month training phase with video materials which they will produce during this phase, to fully complete their video project.
