  During these workshops, students are introduced to basic theory (research, scriptwriting, interviewing techniques, camera handling, basic editing, etc). They then move on to practical instruction, creating their own animated film, digital story, or filmed interview.

  • Target age: Elementary, secondary, or college students.
  • Length of sessions: Two and a half hours (half day) or five hours (full day).
  • Maximum capacity: Up to 60 participants at any one time.

• Educator workshops:

  In these workshops, education specialists guide teachers through the use of NFB productions in the classroom, offering practical advice on selecting films that enrich their classroom programs, and on creating personal thematic reading lists. Participants also learn how to get the most out of NFB resources, which include lesson plans, teachers' guides, and more. Educator workshops can be customized to meet the needs of your group, please send us a message to learn about how we can create the best possible workshop for you and your colleagues.
