Creative heads: Polytechnic school Schwanenstadt convinces with climate film

In Schwanenstadt, the polytechnic school has recently celebrated a remarkable success. The pupils and teachers have actively participated in the "Down to Earth: Climate Solutions" project, which focuses on innovative approaches to combat climate change. Creative ideas and projects could be implemented in various areas.

A particularly successful project was the cooperation with the Medienkulturhaus Wels, in which the students in media design produced a short film. In this context, the polytechnic school should be a deeper understanding of artistic design and technical implementation in the film area. The renowned filmmaker Reinhard Zach was invited to lead workshops in which the students learned basic skills in film production, camera work and sound technology.

creative responsibility took over the students

Under the direction of teacher Sonja Wimmer-Palatin, the students took on all tasks related to film production. This meant that they not only dealt with the script and direction, but also for the areas of film, sound, animation, music, spectacle and cut. This creative approach enabled the students to implement their ideas in a comprehensive project.

The finished short film entitled "Climate Conference" was finally submitted to the short film competition "Climateshorts" and provided great joy and pride at the school. With first place, the students not only set a sign of their commitment in the field of climate protection, but also showed that the combination of creativity and technical know-how can lead to excellent results.

Participation in the competition and the achievement of first place are a significant success for the Polytechnic School of Schwanenstadt and confirm the relevance of innovative educational projects that deal with current topics such as climate change in school training.
