Together with the DeL team, the little ones experimented with notions of photo and video editing and assimilated theoretical concepts related to light or movement, learning to create illustrations that tell moments in the city's history or scenes inspired by local culture, using both traditional and modern design techniques.
Outdoor photo-video production
The theoretical notions were then applied by the little ones in the framework of practical activities: they took a walk in the open air, discovering the landmarks of Timișoara's neighborhoods within the Project Spotlight Heritage, which they photographed and filmed, both with personal phones and with professional video cameras.
Interactive tours of the UPT Museum and ExperimentariumTM
