One of the most influential initiatives in the fabric of the city is, without a doubt, the MIRA’M Educational Project. Developed with the collaboration of several agents, it is one of the oldest initiatives of the Festival, as it has been carried out since the second edition, in 2002. It is a series of screenings for high school students, focused on promote the creation of new audiences and the discussion of various topics of interest. At the end of the screenings, the students have the opportunity to talk with members of the film’s team in a dynamic debate. This is an activity open to all secondary school teachers and students in the Tarragonès region and from 2019 to training centers with students with various abilities.

Over the years, more than 5,000 students from all the IES in the region have gone through the Mira’m sessions, sharing experiences, concerns and emotions with creators, specialists and special guests, creating moments that will last in their memory .

Supported by the Tarragona City Council and the Tarragona County Council, the project also has the collaboration of the Tarragonès Regional Council, which liaises with the IES of the region, as well as providing them with transport for those who do not they come from the city center. Among the collaborators could also be counted the entities that would participate in the debate, and the teachers of the IES, who would help to select the topics to be discussed.

This year the REC and the Jove Kesse space are teaming up to bring MIRA’M to all citizens for three Fridays in November. You will be able to enjoy the screening of three different and poignant films that will surely not leave you indifferent. At the end of the screening, you can participate in an open debate.
