WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE
If you are an educator who would love your students to enter but don’t have time to create a program that will assist them to do so…
Why not invite an educator from Rahamim Ecology Centre to present a one day workshop on Documentary Film Making?
In this workshop your students will learn all the skills needed to start their film making journey. The workshop covers researching a topic, story-boards, basic camera skills and video editing. If your school can provide the equipment, we can provide the workshop that will help your students make their very own award-winning film.
Workshops available during Term 2 & 3 2019, in NSW and Victoria.
Contact Rahamim Ecology Centre today for more information.
