In Bulgaria, the Media Incubator 2021 training program will focus on the topic of Antiziganism in audiovisual media. The aim of the training is to raise awareness about the continuities of antigypsy constructions and show participants how even a simple change in perspective, lighting, camera settings, etc. can play a central role in how we represent characters in the audiovisual world. The workshops will be accompanied by a movie program.

Das war die zweite Ausgabe des Media Incubators in Bulgarien

Das Hauptthema der zweiten Ausgabe des Media Incubators in Bulgarien war: Antiziganismus in den audiovisuellen Medien - von ihrer Entstehung bis heute. Das viertägige Journalismus-Seminar in Sofia und das dazugehörige Filmprogramm befassten sich mit wichtigen sozialen Fragen und suchte nach theoretischen und praktischen Wegen, um die Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Stigmatisierung von Minderheiten in unserem Land besser zu verstehen. Ein Jahr später blicken wir auf die Ergebnisse der Veranstaltung zurück, mit Dankbarkeit an alle Lektoren und Teilnehmer.
