Art as a Bridge between Cinema and Folklore
El Elche Fantastic Film Festival (FANTAELX) has for the second year in a row featured the presence of Marina Díaz-Caneja, Art teacher of Lope de Vega International School.
Marina's dedication and experience are something that students, teachers, and families alike greatly value. For FANTAELX, it is striking how we at LDV integrate art with other disciplines, specifically film, and that is why Marina is already a sought-after speaker at this festival. This invitation represents significant recognition of the educational excellence and pedagogical innovation that characterize our school.
A Presentation Highlighting Educational Innovation
In this edition, Professor Marina Díaz-Caneja Alepuz participated with the presentation “Education in children's and youth classrooms through folklore, audiovisual media and the fantasy genre”During her speech, Marina shared the essence of the project where art becomes a fundamental bridge to connect students with film and folk traditions.
Art as a Tool for Cultural Connection
During the presentation, the workshops conducted for 1st, 2nd, and 6th grade students as part of the 12th edition of the festival were explained. It was emphasized how folklore connects generations and helps preserve our cultural roots, while audiovisual media, with its capacity to create visual and emotional impact, positions itself as a powerful medium for storytelling. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches the educational experience of our students, but also fosters a deeper understanding of contemporary visual culture. Through projects like this, students at Lope de Vega International School cultivate fundamental skills that shape them as critical thinkers, role models, and communicators.
Lope de Vega and his commitment to educational excellence
At Lope de Vega International School, we have professionals who are not only experts in their subjects, but are also leaders in their respective fields, actively participating in top-level cultural and academic events. Marina's participation in this festival highlights the quality of the faculty at Lope de Vega International School and demonstrates our commitment to educational excellence. Her presentation generated great interest among the attendees, who particularly appreciated the originality and effectiveness of this art workshop. At Lope de Vega International School, we congratulate Marina on her outstanding participation and thank her for her continued dedication to making art a transformative tool in our students' education.
