Ms. Tinatin Tsiskaridze has been cooperating with various media organizations for over 15 years. She currently works as a media trainer and consultant at the Deutsche Welle Academy (DW Akademie). At the beginning of 2018, Tinatin Tsiskaridze moved to Batumi and started the project "Sphere", which aims to create new, non-formal education and discussion spaces in the region. She was happy to share her teaching experience with IDS students and during the two-day workshop on 17-18th January 2020 encouraged them to pair and intensively work on a one-minute video film on the topic each of the pairs found relevant.

Eight IDS students took part in the two-day event. They were divided into four pairs each pair presenting, as a result of the workshop, one-minute video. The students’ teams were assisted and mentored by the Deutsche Valley Academy trainer Ms. Tinatin Tsiskaridze.

The IDS panel and Ms Tsiskaridze reviewed the presented results of the crash course and announced the winners of “Video Storytelling Via Mobile”. Mariam Parulava, second year undergraduate student of IDS, and Francesco Ilvento, the Italian bachelor on Erasmus+ program for a semester-long study spell at IDS, were announced the winners. They will join a group of IDS students who are planning to travel to Helsinki, Finland to Aalto University Design School in September 2020.
