RIZOMA is a creative laboratory for online training. We are developing a digital platform with professionals from different educational and experimental areas of the audiovisual area, especially linear and non-linear television (OTT, video on demand, streaming and so on.) and convergent digital media. This platform has a central objective: to create an educational space that soon will become a professional community for those who consider themselves to be passionate about these two great media: television and digital audiovisual media.

For RIZOMA the premise of lifelong learning (and for life) and the acquisition of digital skills for employment are much more than fashionable concepts among the gurus of training platforms, it is about the only possible way to create a network of knowledge that allows us to adapt to all the work fields that lie ahead.
In RIZOMA there will be professionals and knowledge transmitter creators who will guide you through their experience in the same space. These creators are risky in audiovisual and television technique and conception, they have no limits in their creativity, they know what they say and do, and, in training, they have the gift of communicating because they are direct, realistic and, above all, they handle levels of information and expertise that few have and many need.

What kind of professionals will RIZOMA have available to you?
In RIZOMA you will find specialists from the entire audiovisual sphere and television in general, many of them recognized for being international awards winners thanks to their projects and for their unconventional points of view. However, the most outstanding Rizoma has, is the teaching staff: design, production, programming and content management specialists for multiscreen and multiplatform.

What will we do with your highly valued contributions?
The amount collected will be used in the production of two (2) audiovisual courses with the format created by RIZOMA. In this way we will complete the first pack of three online courses that will be made available to our community.
Producing quality audiovisual training content has a high cost and we are pleased to inform you that we already have the first course ready, entitled Content design for linear and non-linear TV, but to complete the first pack we must produce the courses of Transmedia narratives and International production of audiovisual content for multiplatform and thus close a comprehensive training block.
The estimated budget for each course is 2,500 euros.
One of the fundamental pillars of our development is the Multilateral platforms Model, that seeks to generate spaces for collaboration between creators to lower production costs and enhance creativity. Currently RIZOMA has the support of two audiovisual production companies to develop the contents that will be provided by part of the filming and post-production team, and it already has the graphics package, the courses animations and the didactic material ready.
This is a sample of what we can do with the support of associated production companies such as BUYA:
