The actor Eyad Babtij in cooperation with the Istanbul based cultural initiative Diyalog Derneği is organizing this long-term community video workshop series.

Within the workshop, participants with and without migration background from Gaziantep will be trained to use smart phones to create short movies about mobility/immobility, their living situation and their aspirations regarding community life in one single shot.

The theme of the movies will focus on the newcomer and how he or she is an asset and enrichment to the local community.

The participants will be trained as well using the online video software WeVideo to edit their movies with mobile devices and desktop Computer. The movies created within the workshop will be finally published on the StreetWalking magazine.

Creative tools like video making will allow everyone with and without filmmaking experiences to try to pave the passage to a new journey.

Regarding the actual circumstances linked to COVID-19, the workshop content will be adapted to our actual life rhythms, taking into account that the possibility to shoot outside will be limited.

By overcoming national boundaries Searching Traces delivers improved access to information and will generate fresh and unconventional content and forms of narratives.

The workshop is also focusing on gender parity of the participants to overcome gender based stereotypes in different communities and promote similarities.
