Mobilemovie project is a research project undertaken by three art teachers from three different parts of the world, Japan, Greece and Germany. During the 2013 - 2014 academic years, their high school students have been involved in producing video art. The art creation is the result of three-step teaching tasks derived from the students’ virtual interaction. The project aimed to enhance intercultural understanding through art with the use of the new media (video production). Simultaneously, contemporary youth’ practices in social media are searched as a legitimate art content in order to enhance students’ critical thinking to their participation in digital visual culture. Participants schools: Kamimizo-minami High School, Kanagawa, Japan, 2nd High School of Oreokastro, Thessaloniki, Greece, Tulla- Realschule modern secondary School, Kehl, Germany. Read more about the project at IMAG #1
