“Better understanding for better health”
This year’s topic of the Science Film Festival
Learning by Doing with the International Science Film Festival.
During the pandemic everybody’s interest in health issues, in physical health, mental healthy, healthy eating and healthy working has increased. The topic of the Science Film Festival takes this into account and offers positive examples and occasion to discover new things and learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
STEM education is the global trend in learning natural science subjects. It is the trend in Vietnam’s schools. STEM is an interdisciplinary approach to questions about nature and life, associated with learning by doing. Through STEM everybody, pupils, students, teachers, parents can enjoy learning through discovery. Practical solution to practical questions help to solve problems we are facing.
The Science Film Festival offers films and learning kits to recreate the experience from the films with simple means for the purpose of a personal learning experience.
Students can perceive the real context, love and explore science and technology with many different methods. Science films provided are easily to understand and is an interesting and refreshing approach that parents and schools can use to share with their children and integrate in their lessons.
The journey of more than 10 years bringing the Science Film Festival to children and young people, it is time for us to recognize the results and spread the scientific and STEM innovations from the beneficiaries who are children and young people across Vietnam.
FILM IT FORWARD is a contest built with that spirit in mind. We call for the participation of schools, teachers, and students across Vietnam, creating products inspired by the suggested film packages and experimental activities. Or more than that, we look forward to receiving scientific product ideas related to this year's context. There are no borders when exploring and experimenting in science!
