  • Create open and flexible learning materials using a micro-credential approach
  • Produce educational movies based on archival footage (e.g. 8mm, Super 8, VHS)
  • Promote values such as tolerance, democracy, human rights, and cultural diversity
  • Enhance intercultural competences and soft skills among learners
  • Support the integration of innovative and creative methods in VET

Partners
The project is implemented by a consortium of organizations from the Western Balkans and Europe:

On January 26th, 2026, our team gathered in Sofia for the official kick-off meeting of our newest project, ILMovie.

This innovative initiative is designed to empower Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers across the Western Balkans. By incorporating vintage film formats as a creative learning tool, the project aims to promote intercultural learning, strengthen mutual understanding, and foster regional collaboration.

During the meeting, partners engaged in productive discussions and strategic planning, defining clear objectives and assigning concrete tasks for the first six months of implementation. This marked an important step toward ensuring a strong and coordinated start to the project.

ILMovie brings together a diverse partnership from:

  • Albania
  • Bulgaria
  • North Macedonia

With a shared vision and strong commitment, we are moving forward with energy and enthusiasm toward empowering VET providers and creating meaningful learning experiences across the region.
