TVLATA

As always sharing my time with the kids from Bagunçaçu changes my life...
Tvlata is an experience on education, creation and communication with young people of the community of Alagados in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. The contents published in this experimental television: texts, images, musics and films, have been produced by the adolescents and the collaborators of the project. The use of these materials is restricted exclusively to educative aims. This is a project developed by Neokinok.tv (Daniel Miracle, Félix Pérez-Hita, Monica Hernandez, ) in collaboration with the cultural center Bagunçaço and the support of the Embassy of Spain in Brazil/ Spanish International Cooperation Agency.
