Series "ORF Goes to School" (1995-1997) |
The media and educational project "ORF Goes to School" confronts in an obvious and appealing manner young people and children with the topic: "Diversity". For 10 weeks students develop and produce by help of media professionals - from script over realizing to promoting - a TV short film on this subject. Experts follow up the production flow. TV première follows the school presentation.
A media-pedagogical accompanying booklet and a VHS tape of the project are available at the Austrian Ministry of Education.
Austrian contribution and semi-finalist of the UNICEF Emmy Award
A special broadcasting on 21.12.1996 showed the whole development
and the final result of "Mission Incognito" and as well
parts from the previous four productions, presented by two in the
project participating students (Hannes Kisser and Damla Olcaydu).Thus
ORF Goes to School was introduced for the first time internationally
via 3sat on occasion of the "International Children`s Day of
Broadcasting".
The venture has gained international acclaim, ranking among the
ten best of 2000 international TV-productions for the UNICEF Emmy
Award at the "25th Unicef International Emmy Awards Gala 1997"
in New York.
In April 2000 ECRI (the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance,
a department of the European Council) has selected "ORF Goes
to School" as one of twenty models for a "good practice"
in fighting intolerance in the media.

the projects: ORF Goes to School and CLIP in the Expert Workshop
