I am convinced that the cinema has a high pedagogical value, and I like to rescue those films with educational content (or some fragments) for the classroom, but also for my little daughters.
The four-year-old already knows that he can be like Beckham, and they both know the value of nature for some animated classic shorts that we have seen at home (apart from the stories, of great educational value too, and obviously our day to day, in which the subject comes up often).
The cinema is an ideal medium, close and direct, so that children understand certain values. That's why I loved this website, Eula, which aims precisely highlight the pedagogical value of movies, with a special presence of children's cinema.
Eula aims to boost film education and audiovisual culture, offering children an opportunity to see and understand the cinema, as part of their overall preparation for adult life. It is a space directed to teachers but also to parents and families in general.
This is a pedagogical innovation project that supports the content of schools with cinematographic and audiovisual content to make it more relevant and attractive, enhancing training in other languages, taking advantage of the technology available in schools and with educational resources that generate attention, linking and emotion among the students.
Without doubt the most interesting sections are those of games and activities, where you can enjoy the characters of children's movies playing. We find educational activities that are entertaining, simple to do and that we can do together at home.
For the parents it will be interesting the section "Families", with tips to develop the creativity of the children, solve problems, exercise their critical capacity, be flexible, know how to work in teams, handle new technologies ... There are also videos on the educational role of Family and other issues.
Of course, we can take a look at the cartoon premieres, such as "Happy Feet 2" or "The Puss in Boots", with which we can also play a fun game of memory and reflexes. And you can form a community of teachers, families or students to
Definitely, Eula's website allows children and adults to learn and have fun through the cinema, demonstrating that films are capable of transmitting knowledge, values and attitudes to children in an integral way and adapted to the audiovisual environment in which we live.
