If teens can’t
have social media,
give them cameras.
A six-module curriculum, classroom license tied to school email. Student accounts moderated by the teacher. For any school in any country that wants in. The mission is a growing European school network .
Cameras, not feeds.
the wider conversation’s argument — backed by the 5Rights foundation, by parents, by the dozen-country wave of laws now keeping under-16s off social media — is not that screens are evil. It is that the algorithmic feed extracts attention without giving authorship in return. The countries are forbidding the feed. We are giving back the camera. That’s the curriculum.
A growing European school network.
Western Europe (France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy) and Eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czechia) in equal weight. The first signed partner is in Warsaw. Five more pilot schools come online by September 2026. The full target is fifty live by 2028.
Six modules.
Story Basics.
Premise, character, scene, beat. The shape of a film before the camera turns on.
Tools Intro.
What each model does, how to write a prompt, how to read an output. Free-tier first.
Ethics & IP.
Whose face. Whose voice. Whose data. The release form, the disclosure, the credit.
Production.
From shot list to final frame. The teacher as showrunner. The classroom as crew.
Edit & Score.
CapCut to DaVinci. Suno to free-licensed library. The cut is where the story arrives.
Distribution.
The Youth Track submission, the local screening, the family premiere. The work has to leave the room.
Three in. One seat open.
Twelve countries, one question.
