The Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), partner of the EU-funded project MYSEA, concluded the training of creative workshops on Digital Storytelling, Videomaking and Photography.

The training courses, each one with a duration of 20 hours, were held between the end of July and the beginning of August 2023 in Irbid, in the north of the country, in the locations of Luminus Technical University College and the Irbid Training Centre, beside Al Yarmouk University.
A total of 74 young people and women were trained as follows: 25 in Videomaking, 24 in Photography and 25 in the Digital Storytelling course.

The expertise and dedication of the university's team have empowered our participants with essential skills and a keen eye for capturing the beauty of our world.

Through the photography workshop, the young people and women who took part learned the rules for optimal image composition, the differences between photographic lenses, adjusting light and the different devices that can be used by everyone.

Thanks to the videomaking and digital storytelling workshops, the students learned how to use video editing programmes, the techniques for composing a story and the basic tools for telling it. Again, in line with the themes covered by MYSEA project, the final work focused on telling stories related to the themes of the Blue&Green Economy: water management, waste management, organic farming. In particular, the stories were related to testimonies, good practices and active participation for the promotion of ecological behaviour.

The aim of our project is to provide an education that is as complete as possible, in which professional skills are complemented by artistic skills. Not only because this fosters the full development of the human person, but also because companies today increasingly demand profiles that can master communication skills.
