Goal of the event:
To raise awareness through a classic movie, full of meanings and show to people that we are all the same, we can have the same opportunities and everyone, without exception, can achieve a great deal in life.
Short description of the event:
We started the event by screening the movie "Forrest Gump" which is about a guy who deals with a disability... He always had to deal with doubt and social obstacles. But he managed to overcome them and succeed. At the end of the movie, we informed the students about ExchangeAbilty project. We explained what ExchangeAbilty is, what is the goal etc and then we gave them some time so they can share their opinions on the topic. It was a small group so the conversation was more like chatting with friends. The atmosphere was friendly and every opinion was accepted, of course, and discussed.
How did your event go?:
The students watched every single minute of the movie, even if some of them have watched it in the past. They seemed to be interested in what we had to tell them about ExchangeAbility and some of them expressed their opinions on that issue.
