Secondary education

Our programmes for secondary education are available on various levels. The programmes are suitable for the fields of language learning, history, and civics. Film as art, film and entertainment, film as cultural heritage, and film as a communication tool: at Eye, your students will learn about film from different perspectives. Visiting Eye Filmmuseum means a day (or part of a day) devoted to film.
