Association for Film and Audiovisual Education
The Association for Film and Audiovisual Education was founded in 2017, bringing together organisations and schools active in the area of film education, as well as individuals – professionals, educators, lecturers, and experts – who know how to teach children and young people about film. The Association’s activities emerged from the work of the informal Working Group for the Support of Film and Audiovisual Education, in existence since 2014. The Association supports the development of film and audiovisual education as both an academic subject and a leisure activity. It aims to increase awareness of film and audiovisual education in the Czech Republic, improve the conditions for implementing the discipline of film/audiovisual education in Czech schools and film activities in formal and informal education, deepen interdepartmental and interdisciplinary dialogue concerning film education, and contribute to the creation of detailed conceptual documents leading to heightened and systematic support for film and audiovisual education in the Czech Republic.
