The project ”Me, Myself and work” is supported by MIURand MIBACTwithin the Program for “Cinema in the Schools” that took place in April 2018 which promotes “civil growth, social integration and the development of intercultural relationships among people through the use of cinema and audiovisual media” and fosters “the diffusion of audiovisual and film culture in the schools, as well as among students and teachers”. The activities develop in a series of workshops dedicated to contemporary workand analyse some of the main stereotypes that characterize the film industry, by resorting to documentaries collected in recent years by the Marco Biagi Foundation on the occasion of the international global short-video competition “Short on Work”.
The workshops in the schools are scheduled for October 2019: the final works will be presented at the 2019 “Short on Work” Award Ceremony at the Auditorium of the Marco Biagi Foundation on 20 November 2019. The activities will be distributed in a three-hour-meeting or in two different moments: in a one-hour meeting and in a two-hour meeting.
