Giffoni Valle Piana is preparing to host the School Experience 4 event, a week of events from 7 to 11 April

The School Experience 4 festival is getting ready to take off in Giffoni Valle Piana from 7 to 11 April, bringing with it an intense baggage of emotions and talents. After a successful tour that has embraced seven Italian regions, this event establishes itself as a unicum in the national educational panorama, showing how cinema can be a powerful tool for growth and inclusion for young people.

The Voice of Youth

The event has provided a platform for young talents, allowing them to express emotions and vulnerability through feature films, short films and school works. Students from schools from Montecorvino Rovella to Salerno will be involved in screenings that encourage cultural reading and dialogue. **"School Experience 4 represents an extraordinary journey into the heart of cinema for schools, a journey that has united Italy,"** said the project manager of the event, underlining the importance of a festival that goes beyond simply watching films.

An Innovative Education

The essence of cinema as an educational tool is more evident than ever. The current general director of Giffoni has highlighted the urgency of integrating cinema into school curricula, highlighting how audiovisual media can stimulate critical thinking and cultural sensitivity in young people. The festival will culminate on April 11 with the awarding of prizes to the winning films, chosen through an electronic voting system by students. Titles such as “LIFE OF A CAT” and “MARY AND THE MIDNIGHT SPIRIT” have already aroused great enthusiasm, promising fruitful meetings with directors and a vibrant celebration of the art of cinema.

Teacher Training

Another key element of the festival is the continuous training of teachers. During the event, the “Digital Prof” laboratory is scheduled, designed to equip teachers with innovative skills, making teaching more accessible. These meetings will deal with current topics, such as the use of Artificial Intelligence in teaching, transforming technology into a precious ally for education. The initiatives of School Experience 4, funded by the National Plan Cinema and Images for Schools, represent a significant commitment to audiovisual and cultural training in the country, promising to positively influence the lives of numerous students and teachers, and help shape the educational and cinematographic future in Italy.
