How we work
Our Method
Culture, Unfiltered works like a small anthropology project. We observe everyday life, ask good questions, and listen more than we explain.
Five principles
Personal, not national
We tell our own stories. Nobody speaks for a whole country, and no story is the "typical" one.
Many voices, one question
Every theme starts with a single question. We answer it side by side so the differences and the similarities both show.
Made by young people
Teenagers choose the questions, film, write, edit and decide what gets published. Adults help, they do not direct.
Consent and care
Everyone chooses what to share. We use first names only, never schools or addresses, and anyone can withdraw a story.
Reflect, do not judge
Every story ends with three questions: what surprised us, what we assumed, and what we learned.
How a story gets made
- We pick a theme and agree on one question.
- Each participant answers it in their own format: video, writing, photos, an interview or audio.
- We meet online, share drafts, and give each other feedback.
- Every contributor approves the final version before it is published.
- We finish with a reflection: what surprised us, what we assumed, what we learned.
