The auditorium of the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO) hosts the screening of the documentary “ARSUARA” about an expedition to Turkish Kurdistan, given by Raquel García Ceballos, Toño Ojugas Ruiz, and José Román Benito, with the presence of first-year students of the degrees in Audiovisual Communication (CA), Advertising and Public Relations (PRP), and Journalism (PER).
Raquel, Toño, and José Román have presented their project from the realization, production of the script, storyboard, and especially, the preparation of the trip, since they were not only going to record the documentary but also live the experience in the flesh and learn from a new adventure. In this case, it consisted of visiting the Kurdistan region of Turkey, with the challenge of climbing the top of the three highest volcanoes in this area.
The project tells the story of how they traveled to the site and arrived on foot, climbing and traversing the wilderness, staying and camping, and dealing with the varying temperatures of the site.
For the second part of the documentary, the protagonists helped and lived with local people. In addition, during the documentary, they highlighted their relationship with the children and the gifts they offered them such as toys and food. This allowed them to be with the people of the village and learn more about their way of life and the country they were in.
The documentary has captured the attention of the students and has left them with a sense of learning and a desire for adventure, as well as a better understanding of the format of a documentary, which is useful for training in their respective degrees and future careers.
Ongoing collaboration between UNEATLANTICO and Raquel García
It is not the first time that UNEATLANTICO collaborates with Raquel in sporting events that are still related to learning and inspiration for students.
In February, Raquel signed an agreement with the university for the “Quelccaya Challenge,” a challenge in which the sportswoman is counting on its support to become the first woman on the planet to complete the longest glacier in the entire tropical zone of the world in the Ausangate mountain range in Peru. The event will be held next May.
