Projects
Researching the potentials and solutions of creative and production-oriented learning through film and media literacy.
Welcome to SymfUnivers!
Learn about the planets and music with astrophysicist, Anja C. Andersen and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra. Symfunivers offers a different and inspiring way to learn about the planets in our solar system. In a huge, interdisciplinary collaboration, we have created teaching material for the 3rd – 4th grades, where the students themselves must convey their knowledge about the planets.
Animated Engagement
We are thrilled to present our newest project, Animated Engagement! In this project our aim is to connect Danish and Brazilian students to communicate, play games, animate and create animated documentaries about our impact on each other’s lives and countries.
Film-dialogic Curiosity
Film-Dialogic Curiosity is a project where we investigate how qualitative short films can be used as an impetus for educational activities in daycare centers so that film pedagogy can contribute to education and learning. The project is supported by DFI and will be completed in June 2025.
Same Same but Different
Grasp Concepts is about using creative tools in teaching to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding. When children collaborate to make creative products, such as an animated film, they need to explain to each other what their film will be about and how they will express it.
Play with Film
The project is an inspirational and competence course for preschool teachers, which aims to prepare the pedagogues to be able to carry out film pedagogical activities with the oldest kindergarten children.
Alter 2.0
ALT-ER is a conversational app developed to form a bridge between children, their parents and their teachers. In the app, you can dive into different scenarios from everyday life, which encourage conversation between children and adults. The goal is to strengthen empathy and examine the social rules of the game in society.
Animated Learning Japan
In 2017, Animated Learning visited Japan for the first time. The Japanese interest in the creative approach of the animation pedagogy into teaching resulted in the creation of our Japanese sister
organization Animated Learning Japan
(ALL. Jp.).
VAF ANIMOK
Is animation at children’s level. The track is for both children and their families, as well as for day care centers and schools.
