Street educator: an invisible profession revealed by a documentary

Abstract

This paper deals with the formal and content aspects of a project undertaken by 14 students—half of them attending the undergraduate course in Social and Cultural Education and half of them attending the Master in Cinema, Television and Multimedia. The project aimed at producing a documentary on the profession of street educators. While writing their video project, they came to understand how audio-visual production is the result of specific cultural stances, which entails a network of logos: thought and technique.
Moreover, such workshop proved itself the best fieldwork chance to
gather information on a profession that is often overlooked or  gnored:thus, the project itself constitutes a critique of the educational work—in a meta-cognitive perspective.
