The Look of Children at the World is a project in progress, aimed to collect and put online the video works of schools and groups of children, up to the age of 14, from all over the planet, made mostly by the children themselves , who act, shoot, and edit videos (with the assistance and supervision, in the presence or remotely, of good (with the assistance of technician-educators).
It is not just a collection of "films" of children, who in their small way do something similar to the cinema and television that we traditionally know. In our times, in which powerful, easy and economic means make all of us actually producers of information (most often without our knowledge, for example through social networks), an adequate basic education in the audiovisual language of the global information society, to avoid leaving much of planetary communication in the hands of the illiterate, is more urgent and necessary than ever.

 

Children, not left to themselves and to the market, playing as they can, with the support and assistance of adult educators, not only easily acquire mastery of the media, but also manage to tell about themselves and the world from their point of view as it was not possible before, enriching the audiovisual language with original forms and contents with respect to the adult, professional or amateur ones. From such an exchange of messages across generations, which on the internet can be extended to all nations and cultures, the whole of society can benefit, in which the means have spread globally in a capillary way, but without any education, not preventing or perhaps even causing increasing problems of communication, integration, cohabitation between groups.
