Background
Started in 2015, EduDoc is an annual international short film competition that brings the stories of education to life. The goal is to draw attention to the existing challenges, innovations and solutions through the medium of short films and videos. EduDoc aims to identify and document the socio-political, cultural and regulatory challenges in the education system through the audiovisual medium and bring forth the inventive solutions devised by individuals, groups, communities or organizations across the world.
Declared by the Supreme Court of India as a fundamental right inherent to the right to life, Education has a cascading impact on numerous other aspects like poverty, health, gender inequality and human rights. Quality education ensures growth in social, economic and civic dimensions, impacting the collective consciousness of generations to come. A similar emphasis on education can be found almost everywhere in our world.
