Moreover “Muda” has been awarded with the special prize for the Video with the clearest message. It has been produced by Cristina Hervás, Danila Lomov, Marianna Pierina and Andrea Vide.
According to Professor Elvira García, “the challenge has encouraged them to lead the way, to develop specific and transversal skills to offer solutions from their areas of expertise, to a serious social problem such as gender violence”.
The social role of audiovisual creators
One of the participants, Arantxa Navarro, has declared that taking part in the contest has made her aware of the key role of education in the heart of the family to fight against gender violence. “Respect is crucial for a healthy coexistence and this has to be passed on to our children”. Moreover it mentions that audiovisual works and creativity are both highly useful tools to communicate messages regarding the fight against gender violence.
This opinion about the responsibility of the audiovisual creator is shared with another participant Javier Ruiz.
According to this student “creating good scripts and attractive audiovisual pieces, we can reach many people, make them understand the serious problems existing around them every day and even show victims that they are not alone”. He also mentions that this experience has provided a great level of learning. This way he has been aware of the existing problem: “I believe that it is important that in case of doubt about any close relationship, we try to help asking instead of turning our back to this serious problem”.
Quoting Elvira García de Torres, the response has once more been very positive. Maturity, vision and technique of the participating students have once more outstood and this proves the talent of the lecture rooms of Audiovisual Communication of CEU Cardenal Herrera.
This project is embedded in the comprehensive and values education provided by CEU Universities. The purpose is to educate society of the future and make it critical, participative, solidary and committed with the improvement of the society.
