Workshop for Documentary Production
Since the launching of the Festival, Aegeandocs has been organizing seminars, workshops and public lectures aimed at the audience for the European Audiovisual Works.
The forefront of these efforts is the creation of a Documentary School, with target group the t non-professional filmmakers of all ages, but also embraces the School System: from High Schools and Lifelong Learning Schools up to the University.

The battalion took over in 2015-16 the Municipality of Lesvos and it kept it until 2017. This year, all the organizational and financial weight was taken up by StoryDoc.
In 6 years of its operation the School produced 24 films. 12 films were screened in Parliament -TV, the ones that had the subject on the refugee crisis, while 10 were released at the Festival on DVD.
The main target group is students and alumni of the Culture Department of Aegean University. 450 young filmmakers are the graduates so far.
