The Dorm
Kyrgyzstan
PMC provided a PMC training for writers to support the production of Общага (“The Dorm”), a 25-episode TV serial drama, in Kyrgyzstan. This two-week training took place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from May 14 – 28, 2012.
PMC provided a two-week training in Kyrgyzstan for writers at MC2 Media, a small but popular local television production company, to create a TV serial drama that could address ethnic strife, equality, and corruption to help stabilize the country using PMC’s methodology. Общага aired in March 2013.
The objectives for the training were:
- To introduce producers/writers to the basic notions of the entertainment-education Sabido methodology
- To improve producers’/writers’ knowledge of the facts and issues around ethnic harmony and causes of ethnic discord in Kyrgyzstan (through exploration and discussion of formative research results)
- To train producers/writers to use the formative research results to design characters and storylines for a television drama promoting ethnic harmony
