The idea of this training course was born thanks to the expertise of JUMP in cooperating in European projects that promote innovative approaches to integrate the promotion of reading – facing the urgent need of nowadays students to improve literacy skills – with the development of digital skills, which are both important priorities for the 21st century.
Quoting the EU Council Recommendation for Lifelong Learning, “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, express, create, and interpret concepts, feelings, facts and opinions in both oral and written forms, using visual, sound/audio and digital materials across disciplines and contexts. It implies the ability to communicate and connect effectively with others, in an appropriate and creative way. Development of literacy forms the basis for further learning and further linguistic interaction”. During these years of experimentation developed by JUMP, the innovative use and creation of book trailers in the classroom resulted as a very effective methodology that gained an increasing appreciation both from teachers and students, with evidence based positive effects on learning success, passion for reading, development of a variety of skills and increased motivation in students and teachers.
A book trailer is usually a short digital video (less than 2 minutes) that combines characteristics of a movie trailer and a book advertisement. Book trailers are a great way to support the building of a reading culture in your school and engage pupils with reading in a digital and fun way. Booktrailers, as movie trailers, give a ‘taster’ of a book for its potential audience, designed to leave them wanting to read the book.
Thanks to the cooperation with international partners and a common work of research and studies in this field, JUMP trainers gained experience in the creation of methodological approaches that foresee specific activities according to the age of teachers’ students, including all levels from pre-school until adult education. This process led JUMP to the creation of “The first European digital library of book trailers”, that was born through an Erasmus+ strategic partnership in the field of adult education, titled “EU-Read&Art: The first European digital library of book trailers and adult creativity expressions”.
During this training course teachers will learn how to plan and create booktrailers, exploring a variety of methodologies that allow them to be able to choose the best tools and creative strategies according to different contexts and students’ needs. Through a process of learning by doing, teachers also learn to effectively guide their students to evaluate a book, comprehend the essence and most meaningful messages, visualize what they want to communicate through the video and present their personal perceptions, comprehension and talking through the book trailer. Experiential lessons will include the use of pictures, text, videos, voice overs as well as music to make the booktrailer interesting and engaging. Teachers will learn to film and edit videos and also discover a variety of free online tools and stocks of creative content that can be found under a creative commons license on the internet. Introducing the active creation of book trailers in your classroom will surely increase the engagement of students and at the same time contribute to prevent the addiction to a passive fruition of videos, empowering students to become active creators and more aware of how a video can be realized, for professional and educational purposes.
LEARNING GOALS:
Any teacher at any level of education working in a public or private school or educational institution.
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
A brand new local partner, an innovative company offering touristic services with another vision and perspective. Discover Calabria and enjoy the local culture making experiential learning and practical labs with local people, but also simply a more sustainable tourism at local level.
