We had the first meeting last Thursday and between 10 and 20 people are  active right now in the "Divided God"-group of Filmarche. But we don´t really know who will travel to the other cities yet, this may change a few weeks before the meeting. Would this be ok?

There are some questions that came up and some things I would like to inform you about:

We are four little groups and we start shooting this week, so that we can show you video footage in February! Since the theme is very broad and not even focused on one single religion, but on religion in general - we start working on different themes:

- One group will shoot the construction of the mosque in Berlin (the one that is saved by police to protect it against fascist violence)

- One group will shoot, in comparision, the construction of another mosque in Kreuzberg, where most people are Muslim and the construction works peacefully!

- One group will interview priests in Berlin who work with children from different religions - there are a lot of initiatives in Berlin, something like multi-religious kindergarden!

- One group will go to schools and film the religion classes. A lot of schools in Berlin also teach Islamic religion classes - this is very unique, I think.

Well - this is the situation. We meet in three weeks next time and show each other the best footage and decide how to continue. But a lot of questions came up:

- How are we going to make ONE movie out of  such diverse footage?

- Why will it be all editied  in Ljubljana? I think the peolpe would like to work with it in Berlin as well.

- How will the shooting in the different cities be organised? How can we prepare when we don´t know the city and the situation? Will the groups mix when they meet each other?? Do you have any detailed plans about this?

This is just so I can make it more clear to the people. I am also a little bit confused about that. We should think about things that we could do in all the countries - for example make interviews with young children and young people and ask them the same questions in all countries...

About the application:

We are working on three applications:

- One for the EU-Youth Program (Youth Exchange, right?)
- One for the Robert-Bosch-Stiftung
- One for the Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung
