Trip to the cinema (Poland)

Justification and description of the activity: Our students will watch a psychological film (it’s up to you: e.x cyberviolence). The goal is to introduce them to the subjects they are interested in and give them many unforgettable experiences that affect them every day. After the film there will be a discussion with a specialist who will encourage students to think about the subjects and to raise their awareness of other people’s matters and problems.
Sequence of activities: a discussion about the film subjects before the show, watching the film at the cinema, a discussion after watching the film, writing a short film review ( group work)
Products / instruments de evaluation: film reviews, drawing some conclusions by students from the discussion and thinking about their own behaviour, questionnaires,  selfcontrol
Sessions: meetings as part of every week sessions of Erasmus team, discussions during general education classes with teachers.
Grouping:  3- 4 students in each groups
Resources: students know the problem of violence and aggression, they can discuss about it and draw the conclusions.
Spaces / Contexts: the show at the cinema, meeting with a specialist

Recommendations of the authors for putting it into practice: to talk about the aggression and violence before the show and during the general education classes very seriously, to encourage tutors of every classes to prepare some activities for their general education lessons and do them with their students, to encourage students to think their behavior through and draw some conclusions.
