Discover Cinebase projects and find yours
Cinebase is a project that brings cinema to children and teenagers during their school years and before university through learning audiovisual storytelling in their own language, with the aim of fostering creativity and critical thinking.
This learning takes place through 3 main activities:
Teacher training; Summer School and the Cinebase Festival
