Bizipoza tours is more than just a tour company. We are passionate about promoting cultural diversity and effective communication between cultures. The Bizipoza film school provides an innovative approach to the maintenance and promotion of cultural diversity through the medium of film.

It is a platform for students to tell their unique stories and share them with their counterparts in Scotland and in Europe at large. The project will look at various themes including identity, home, music and language in a contemporary European context.

These courses will take the students through the entire process of film making, from developing their ideas into a script, learning camera and audio skills and shooting the films. We facilitate creativity and freedom of expression by creating documentaries, short films and even music videos.

On completion the films will be screened at events in Scotland and Euskal Herria, creating networks between the two groups of filmmakers and encouraging lifelong learning. These films are destined for promotion at European film festivals thus increasing exposure of Euskal Herria and Scotland.

By creating a need for communication we are creating a highly motivating context for English language learning. English is the common language for these courses and we are experienced in supporting students in their English language learning. We offer intensive 10 day courses in English to enable students to express themselves through film on the world stage.

In 2012 we will be looking for new partners in Europe in the form of NGO's, youth groups etc.. If you would like to take part in any part of this programme contact us.
