the story T arzan, born in the jungle, has abilities beyond ordinary humans. Swinging to his goal using vines and tendrils at great speed, he looks peculiar. He hangs out with apes. He communicates with all species of jungle animals, able to master a new language in a day, gets along with apes and humans alike. He is the ultimate communicator. How does he do it? It’s all about the sixth sense. The ability to get our messages across in the jungle of noise, to reach all creatures in that jungle, and to express messages, feelings, thoughts, ideas, ourselves. The five senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. During the training we introduce the sixth sense, communication through media using all senses.

mission We will work with the questions: How can the five senses joined using media? How can we communicate by other means than talking? What are the wins and the challenges in all this? During the training you will explore and critically develop your communication. Winning video of the Birth of Image “How to save the world” Challenge, 2010 March In this training we look at “media” as communications composed of physical gestures, images and sounds which create interaction between people.

inspiration In Birth of Image we believe that everyone has a message to tell. The question is how to tell it. If I accept that communication is the re- sponse I get , it is relatively easy to check the effect of my communication. All I need is an audience, a video camera or both.

“Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures.” Source: http://www.pranavmistry. com/projects/sixthsense/ Watch this on TED! what do we offer?

the background What is Birth of Image? It is an 18-month project where young people develop their active media literacy. What is active media literacy? It is the ability to read and write with moving images, to create, share and understand media. During the Birth of Image project we are setting up different non-formal learning environment, so that: > any young person from Lithuania, Hungary, Greece, Italy or the Netherlands can develop his or her competences and skills in audiovisual media > participants become able to construct, create and produce innovative, new, grass-roots media, and they learn to share it; > participants improve their skills in analysing, assessing and accessing new and old media products and formats. Who funds us? This project is co-funded by the European Commission’s Youth in Action programme for promoting innovation in youth work. Additional funding comes from participants’ own contribution, the European Youth Foundation and the Olde Vechte Foundation.

There is no selection criteria for participation. > Participants from Greece, Netherlands, Hungary, Lithuania and Italy will be given priority due to funding reasons. There a places for maximum 7-8 people from these countries. * school, family, personal history, disability of any nature etc.
