Accomodation and food
Your own home. It might not be a brand new experience, but hey, you might be missing out on sleeping on hard field beds, sharing a room with the whole workcamp group or having to make a schedule for the showers. Is that really so bad...? Plus, in our virtual workcamp, you might have a chance to see how different homes all over the world look like!
Location and leisure
This workcamp will be taking place entirely online. It is accessible to everybody with a working internet connection. No borders, no visa, no need to travel, so you are saving CO2-emissions which is really nice for our beautiful planet! While it is important to keep physical distance at the moment, we can create social proximity in the digital world.
Project hosted by
During the virtual workcamp you will learn and gain a deeper understanding on the analysis of movies and comics. What are the hidden meanings and why is it created in a certain way? You will learn the different elements on how to analyse comics and movies.
The virtual camp will be carried out by the ESC volunteer Mathilda who developed a passion for watching movies and followed by wanting to gain a deeper understanding on what makes a movie great. Likewise, when reading a comic, there are so many elements involved in the process of developing a comic or movie which makes it interesting to discover and explore the reasons behind it.
Requirements
There is no application fee for this workcamp, but you are of course welcome to support our work financially on a voluntary basis.
