All this with the help of the Basque Government Culture Department and the support of Donostia – San Sebastián 2016, Candidate for European Capital of Culture.
Learn more about who’s who:
MOBILE TERRITORY (ingurunemobil.casitengo18.com): A media and digital literacy programme aimed at teenagers that provides them with tools, methodologies and concepts relating to the production and dissemination of audiovisual information and content and, above all, to develop their critical abilities and own criteria. MT aims to promote an understanding of the media, not as a one-way channel, but as a two-way conversational space. To do this, it is based on learning using practical experience and active participation. MT is a multiplatform project (workshops, website, television) under development in which the mobile phone is the main working tool.
ALMOST 18 (www.almost18.net): An association dedicated to promoting cultural diversity through projects based on the active participation of civil society, focusing on teenagers by working with and not on or for them.
Its programme of activities is based on teaching strategies of creativity and mediation, placing special importance on participation and interaction between the participants and emphasising the languages, media and dynamics that are closest to them so that they can create their own imaginary and develop their ability for (self-)critical analysis.
AMASTÉ (www.amaste.com): An office of ideas specialising in creating relational and participative processes and mechanisms for mediation to encourage the imagination, active reflection and a critical spirit in fields such as social innovation, youth, culture, enterprise, media literacy, territorial development, etc.
ZAUNKA (www.zaunka.com): An attempt to explore contemporary culture. The complexity of today’s society and the sociopolitical mechanisms in which we are immersed are often difficult to explain, which is why ZAUNKA aims to offer an image of certain cultural realities of today.
MARTA DEL OLMO: Energetic, sharp and lively, it seems she did not stop working for a second during the creation of this Decalogue. She plays the violin, likes snow and is a whizz at social websites. Wait until she finishes school… she’ll conquer the world.
LUCAS FUENTES: He’s been called a Renaissance young man and has been playing the drums since god knows when, likes digital editing and attracted a lot to video. If you don’t see his name soon in the credits of a film nominated for Spain ’s Goya Awards, it’s because he will have decided in the meantime to do something else with the same determination.
JOE CREPÚSCULO (www.crepus.com): A maker of music hits who is currently enjoying his great moment of fame and recognition. He has always been known to make strange, evocative music from the position of an obsessed genius. Before becoming so famous and signing to EMI, he composed the pieces of music that form the soundtrack of this Decalogue.
BASQUE GOVERNMENT CULTURE DEPARTMENT: The department promotes the use of NICTs by providing grants for the creation and production of new format audiovisual content. You can also visit its Kulturklik website if you are interested in the audiovisual field and culture in general: http://www.kulturklik.euskadi.net.
DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN 2016 (www.sansebastian2016.eu): A city bid for the European Capital of Culture in which PEOPLE and their creative and TRANSforming abilities are the protagonists. One of the bid’s lines of work is to promote multimedia literacy programmes for teenagers so that they can use NICTs in a more creative and conscious manner.
