Audiovisual Creation and ICT: Educational Intervention Program in the Context of Intercultural Dialogue

Abstract

This paper describes the experience carried out in a Primary Education center at Tenerife where there are a large number of students from different countries. The selection of a group of students formed the basis of a case study that emerged in response to an audiovisual message from an educative centre in Brazil. All the members of the group participated into an ad hoc educational intervention program and, by the end of it, they had been able to design and create, collaboratively, a video letter, assuming the tasks of writing the script, shooting and editing video. By sending this product to their alter ego the cycle of participation and intercultural communication was closed. The methodological procedure brought together quantitative and qualitative techniques. Among other relevant findings, the increase of their creative thinking, the point at which this presentation focuses, was confirmed. The students were able to reinvent their own ideas and feelings and those of others and they also took advantage of the different realities that knew how to communicated audiovisually through educational use of ICT.
