How to create videos for social media
**DATES:** 18th and 19th of April 2026
**TIME**: 11:00 am until 4:00 pm (both days)
**FEE:** €230 for individuals (2 days)
€230 excl. VAT for companies
**DISCOUNT:** 15% for students and participants of previous workshops
**BRUNCH & REFRESHMENTS:** Included
**LOCATION: BRUSSELS, CHATELAIN AREA** \- exact address upon registration
This workshop takes place in a **small group (max. 8 participants)** to ensure an **individual approach**, personal feedback, and real progress for everyone. It’s ideal for communication professionals, project managers, EU staff, artists, NGOs, and anyone who wants to elevate their video presence on social media.
You’ll learn by doing: through **hands-on technical and creative exercises**, we will film together using your phone, professional **tripods and sound equipment (provided)**, and edit step-by-step in **CapCut**. The focus is on practical skills you can immediately reuse — from framing and light to sound and storytelling.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will leave with their own **finished short video** created from the material we produce together — plus the confidence to continue filming independently.
**Here’s What You’ll Learn:**
**DAY 1: Foundations: Story, Technique & Interviews**
**•** **Planning & Structuring a Short Video**
Learn how to shape a clear, engaging story before you start filming — whether for interviews, events, institutional communication, or social media. We focus on simple methods that make your message stronger and your filming more efficient.
• **Creating a Simple Shot List**
Discover how to translate your idea into visuals. You’ll learn how to plan key shots in advance so your video feels coherent, dynamic, and professional — not random or improvised.
**• Filming Professional Interviews with Your Phone**
Master practical techniques for framing, positioning your subject, working with available light, and capturing clean, usable sound. Small details that make a big difference in perceived quality.
**• Getting the Best Out of Your Mobile Phone**
Understand essential settings, filming apps, and accessories. You’ll work with tripods, microphones (provided) to dramatically improve stability, sound, and image quality.
**DAY 2: Practice, Filming & Editing**
**• Practical Outdoor Filming**
Put everything into action in real-life situations. You’ll film footage outside, learning how to adapt to changing light, sound, and spontaneous moments.
**• Introduction to CapCut & Editing Your Video**
A clear, step-by-step introduction to editing on your phone. Learn how to select the best shots, structure your story, add sound, titles, and polish your video using CapCut.
**• Hands-On Practice with Personal Feedback**
Most of the day is dedicated to filming, experimenting, solving real problems, and receiving direct guidance. The small group format allows for individual support and concrete improvement.
**By the end of the workshop, you will have filmed and edited your own short video using the material created during the sessions — and gained practical skills you can immediately apply in your work.**
**MOBILE VIDEO WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS – DETAILS**
• **Dates**: 18th and 19th of April 2026
• **Time:** 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• **Workshop Fee:**
€230 for individuals (2 days)
€230 excl. VAT for companies
15% discount for students and participants of previous workshops
**• Brunch & Refreshments:** Included
**• Materials Provided:** 20 pages of printed workshop notes filled with practical tips and techniques to support your video-making journey after the workshop
• **What to Bring:** A fully charged mobile phone and your charger. Tripods and microphones will be provided for practice during the workshop. Please also bring headphones compatible with your phone.
**We work only in small groups – a maximum 8 participants!**
**Why This Workshop?**
This workshop is designed so that every participant gains real, hands-on experience — not just theory. You will actively film, experiment, and learn throughout the process, and leave with a **finished short video** created from the material we produce together.
Unlike large trainings with limited interaction, this is an **intensive small-group format (max. 8 participants)**, allowing the trainer to work closely with each person. You’ll receive individual attention across both technical and creative aspects, tailored to your goals and level.
The aim is to create a focused yet relaxed environment where learning is practical, personal, and enjoyable — combining serious skill development with curiosity, experimentation, and plenty of fun along the way.
**TRAINER – ANJA STRELEC**
Anja is a **documentary filmmaker, audiovisual director, photographer, and experienced visual storyteller**, working across formats from **short social media videos to feature-length documentary films**. She has collaborated with **various TV channels, the European Commission, NGOs, UNICEF, and Special Olympics among others** and her films have been **screened and awarded at international festivals**.
Alongside her filmmaking work, she leads **hands-on workshops** that help participants develop their visual voice and storytelling skills. Her teaching style is **individual-oriented and practical** – so by the end of the workshop, you already know how to confidently use your new skills.
Write Together!
Spend time in the company of other writers putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard. Work on your current project or start something new. If you are fresh out of inspiration a member of the Wordcraft Collective will be ready with a prompt to get you going. You can use that to unlock your creative brain before moving back to your own project or run with it. Who knows where the story will take you?
Arrive when you like, leave when you like, or join us for a drink in the bar downstairs afterwards.
Location: Pianofabriek, Rue du Fort 35, 1060 Saint-Gilles.

About the moderator
Edit, founder of Tulipane Design.
‘Raised in the Hungarian countryside, I learned sewing, crochet and traditional bead weaving. Jewellery being my main interest, I especially liked bead weaving. This passion has always been with me.
Since I have been living in Belgium, the African style fascinates me as much as the Hungarian folk style.
With my work, which manifests itself under the brand name Tulipane Design, I would like to offer a delicate mixture of Eastern Europe and Africa.
The designs are created and woven bead by bead. It is a work of patience and a kind of meditation: the beads take time to be woven.
Through my childhood trauma with an abusive father, I realised that creating is a crucial activity to find my balance and well-being and I think I am not alone with this. That's why my goal is not only to share my creations with other women but also to contribute to a social impact. Tulipane Design contributes with 1€/jewel sold to the Domestic Violence Centre in Belgium.’

Story Night: Stories of love, heartbreak and everything in between
Story Night is back with a new group of talented storytellers will share their stories to make you think, laugh and cry!
**Story Night Brussels: an evening of connection and community through personal stories**
Looking for a different kind of Saturday night? Join us for the one and only Story Night of Storytelling Brussels!
Storytelling Brussels aims to create a space where we pause, connect, and experience our shared humanity through the power of stories. A space where everyday experiences become well-crafted narratives with meaning and impact. Stories that will make you laugh, cry, reflect, feel. Come with an open mind and leave with a full heart.
**Event Details:**
* Each storyteller has prepared a short (around 8 minutes) personal story.
* **Venue**: the Bridge Theatre Studio; Chau. de Forest 83, St. Gilles
* **Doors open 19:30.** Show starts at 20:00 (sharp!). More than just a show, we want to create a community around storytelling, so **we encourage you to come early**, socialize, and maybe meet new people! There will be music and drinks available at the bar. We are starting again at 8 pm to allow for more storytellers and not end too late! Please note that the **front door of the venue might be closed once the show starts**, as it’s a private space, so you might not be able to enter if you are too late!
* Attention! We will be collecting **donations upon check-in at the door.** We recommend a donation of **10€/person**, but if you can't pay this at the moment, feel free to make a donation of your choice. All the earnings will go to compensate the performers (some of whom will be traveling long distances for this event) and organise more of these in the future. **Please bring cash**.
* All stories will be told in **English**
* We kindly ask you to be present and listen actively to the stories. But don't fear, we will also have time to have fun and chat in between, and some breaks to enjoy the bar!
**Reservations**: it helps us a lot if you [RSVP through here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/story-night-connecting-through-personal-stories-tickets-1986118609225?lid=mhwkwiitinr1&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=ebml&utm_campaign=clpo_ceex_lcm_fad_mec_mc_mum_0_0_eventpublished&utm_term=Main_EventPublishedSubFree_HeroSummary_other%20feature%20usage&utm_content=e412e73b-f3c5-463c-af88-9aa6b8e94267__69c7948f688bf81f67b04ace587e740e__2cc6065c-8d9a-424d-a326-56cd04fcd4b9). Space is limited, so secure your spot by booking today! If in the end you cannot make it, please cancel your reservation so someone else might take your spot. Please note that if you haven’t arrived by the time the show starts, your spot might be given to someone else.
**What is storytelling?**
Sharing stories in front of an audience may well be the oldest form of art. This ancient oral tradition is experiencing a modern revival through organizations like The Moth in New York, the Mezrab in Amsterdam, or The Bear in Berlin. Now, it is Brussels’ turn!
Though deeply connected to many other disciplines, storytelling is an artform on its own. It might make you laugh, but it's not stand-up comedy. It might make you think, but it's not a TED talk. It make help you heal, but it's not therapy. Ultimately, it's about connecting with each other, sharing and celebrating life.
**Want to tell a story?**
We believe everyone has a story to tell, and we welcome everyone who wants to dare! Previous performance experience is a plus, but **not necessarily required.** We simply ask you to fill up the form below and commit to respect the format (you will have priority if you have come to our shows before). Depending on the volume of applications we will contact you only when we find a spot for you, thank you for your understanding!

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the first three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY!**

Dreams
PLEASE NOTE: this session will exceptionally begin at 14h and end at 17h
What comes to mind when we hear the word "dream"? 1) Experiences we undergo while sleeping? 2) Hopes, desires and goals we cherish for the future? 3) Daydreaming? 4) Imagining, thought-experimenting, inventing? 5) ...?
How are all these various forms of dreaming connected to our waking, here-and-now lives?
What life experiences have you had that noticeably influenced your dreams?
What dreams have you had that especially affected, possibly changing or even transforming, your life?
How can we maximize the value of our dreams?
How can we maximize the value our waking/here-and-now experiences have on our dreams?
What can dreams teach us about consciousness? [Jef, might you want to add Jung and Freud to the BINGO cards? 😉😅]
How do dreaming and non-dreaming affect self-identity, and vice-versa?
Should we categorically aim to avoid all nightmares (or not)?
Does free will exist in dreams?
Do all dreams carry messages?
(What) can we learn (something) from the "logic" of dreams?
Can dreams predict the future?
(How) can we know whether we are dreaming or not dreaming?
If our waking consciousness would turn out to be all a dream after all, how might "waking consciousness lucid dreaming" manifest itself to us?
"Life, as I experience it, is an ongoing quest to search for, collect and process "dream material": scenes, sounds and events during waking life that will inevitably return later (sometimes much later) during dream sleep, (dis)guised in all various forms and permutations ... only to resurface, rematerialize and recur in new configurations and in new contexts during future waking life. Like the ongoing cycle of breathing, a continual exchange of "dream material" is constantly occurring, oscillating back and forth between waking and sleeping, between consciousness and the unconscious, between past and future."
— Alnata Karuna
This session will be an opportunity to talk about and to share our dreams - in whatever forms or contents - and to explore together their possible roles and significance in our lives.

L'éclipse de la lune rouge
Glad to organise a film meetup for this tender astonishing heart breaking yet at peace documentary by the Belgian director Caroline Guimbal. An extract from her description:
« My mother Nathalie will die in two years. My son will be born in nine months. From the past remains a spiral of violence and precarity we still have to decipher. But also the strength of my mother, and the poetry in her way of being in the world. By filming her, I learn to see through her eyes. »
This is in French with English subtitles.
Let’s meet in front of the ticket office, inside though I recommend you buy the tickets online. Afterwards, let’s go for a drink to recover from the film :)

1st Photolanguage Gathering
For our first event, we’re going to make the most out of this beautiful weather and gather in the heart of the Forêt de Soignes.
We’ll meet at the Quatre Bras (Vier Armen) tram stop and walk together towards a bench in the forest (about a 45-minute walk). The walk is part of the experience, a chance to slow down, breathe, and let the forest help us unwind before we begin. Once we arrive, we’ll start the meeting.
I’ll share a selection of photos with the group (and you’re very welcome to bring one of your own). The photos are simply there to gently spark memories and stories that may be waiting to be expressed. From there, we’ll move into a session of speaking and active listening, with no interruptions.
I’ll explain the structure more clearly once we’re together. For now, here are the main things to keep in mind:
● Please listen to others without interrupting. Let’s create a space that feels kind and respectful.
● Come with an open heart and a willingness to share something you’ve experienced, even if you’re not quite sure what that is yet (that’s what the photos are for). Your story doesn’t have to be deep, this isn’t a storytelling performance. What matters most is that you’re genuine. And if something deep wants to be shared, that’s very welcome too.
● If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to speak. There’s no pressure.
● You’re welcome to bring something to drink, but no food please, this helps us keep a calm and attentive atmosphere while others are sharing.
● Please try to be on time, as we won’t be able to wait once we start walking. If you’re running late, just send me a message via Meetup and I’ll share the exact location of the bench so you can join us there.
● This is our first event, so we’re doing our best to keep it organized while still allowing space for spontaneity.
Looking forward to sharing this first gathering with you. Hopefully, this will be a time of real human connection!
I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have :)

City Lights (1931)
In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need.
Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture.
*City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
