Eurics combines the publishing of innovative, current affairs documentary journalism with new academic research and digital and social mobilization of formal and informal networks. This unique combination aspires to manifest effects that matter on a global scale.
By bringing together several professional disciplines and reaching out to and involving international partners, we aim to create a new arena to increase the global public´s understanding of controversial, but vital, contemporary issues.
The major innovations in the documentary field is not in the thematical current affairs categories, which tend to be somewhat condescending, with a traditional executed academic approach, often old fashioned and inaccessible in form. Most film schools as well as funding institutions tend to support the personal and subjective story telling and the micro approach over the demanding macro approach and structural analysis, that is usually needed to enhance story telling beyond single observations.
Eurics intend to demonstrate that another innovative approach to storytelling within the current affairs category is viable.
