Film screening with media education for schools
The Europe Direct Centre in the Danube Office Ulm/Neu-Ulm and the Intercultural Coordination Office Neu-Ulm cordially invite teachers and their pupils to a screening of the documentary film "Surf on, Europe!" with media education support.
The event is aimed at pupils of all school types from year 9 onwards from Ulm, Neu-Ulm and the region. Film and media educator Jörg Litzenburger will accompany the documentary film with a thematic introduction and a concluding discussion.
The film "Surf on, Europe!" is a love letter to Europe that cannot close its eyes to social and political realities. It impressively illuminates current socio-political issues through the stories of:
- Majid, a kitesurfing instructor from Tarifa, who is separated from his family in Morocco due to visa restrictions.
- Margaux, a French professional surfer who is organising Europe's first LGBTQ-friendly surf festival in Biarritz.
- Rosy, a surfboard shaper from Northern Ireland, who is searching for stability in a society deeply divided by the Northern Ireland conflict and Brexit.
Far removed from the political headlines, the film makes tangible a freedom that has long been fought for and which no longer seems as self-evident in Europe as it once was. As part of the International Weeks against Racism, the film opens up an exciting approach to discussing freedom, identity and social challenges in Europe.
