Upcoming Workshops in Brussels – What’s next?
About me - Anja Strelec
For over 15 years, I’ve been deeply immersed in audiovisual storytelling as a TV journalist, documentary filmmaker, video consultant, editor, and coach. I’ve directed and co-directed award-winning documentaries and produced numerous corporate and promotional films. My solo photo exhibitions have been showcased across Europe.
Based in Brussels, I collaborate on projects with film production companies, EU institutions, the European Commission and Parliament, EU delegations, embassies, and international organizations, including the UN, UNICEF, BBC Studioworks, BRUZZ TV, as well as various NGOs, film festivals, and agencies worldwide. Over the years, I’ve worked in Africa, Asia, the United States, and Latin America, collaborating on international projects. This has given me a deep understanding of global storytelling and the power of impactful media. Working with different cultures and various video and film formats has taught me how to effectively transfer my knowledge.
I offer personalized coaching in audiovisual production, documentary filmmaking, and photography, tailored to each student’s needs. My teaching experience spans agencies, film schools, universities, and private tutoring.
In my free time, I practice Qi Gong, play guitar, and explore the world through street photography.
I’m passionate about fostering creativity in a supportive environment and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
I've been looking for a mobile photography workshop in Brussels for a while. When I saw that Anja was organising one, I could not miss such opportunity! Done in a small group of photography-lovers like myself, we had the chance to immerse ourselves in the world of photography, both in theory and in practice. The most exciting part of the workshop was definitely the creation of a photo exhibition we had to come up while wandering in Brussels. Anja is not only very patient, but also an excellent trainer. Her explanations are clear, and well illustrated. I can only recommend her workshop!
Naïma Koubaa, Communication and Visibility Officer
Anja’s workshop was fantastic. I had little experience with filming or editing beforehand, but by the end I felt equipped with concrete techniques I could immediately apply at work. The mix of group exercises and individual practice kept everyone engaged, and I left with both new skills and fresh inspiration. I can honestly say this was one of the most useful and enjoyable trainings I’ve attended, and I would recommend it without hesitation.
Nathalie Paulger, DG GROW, European Union
This was by far the best workshop I have ever participated in - on any topic. Anja knew exactly how to break down the most essential elements of filmmaking for us novices; she avoided theory (only what was necessary) and she also made it clear what we absolutely do not need to know about/worry about - this is important because the amount of information out there is overwhelming. It was purely need-to-know, hands-on, short and intense and incredibly worthwhile. An excellent course, by an excellent teacher.
Rose Kelleher, Journalist
I attended two workshops with Anja and highly recommend her. She combines strong technical expertise with a clear, structured teaching style, making complex tools easy to grasp. Her hands-on approach and adaptability left me with practical skills I could immediately apply in my work.
Gregory Stabile, European Commission
Very satisfied with my second experience with Anja. Her "editing" workshop perfectly covers both aspects: technical – handling the software, and artistic – knowing how to tell a story and build a narrative through images, soundtracks, etc. I appreciate Anja's teaching approach, her patience, and her ability to adapt to the needs of the group.
Agnieszka Kaminska
I found the video editing workshop very useful for my day-to-edit work. With a hands-on approach, it allowed me to learn the basics of DaVinci Resolve that will allow me to improve my projects and serves as a basis to discover what more it can offer.
Sara Pernas, Digital Communication Manager
I really enjoyed the audiovisual workshop I attended. The welcome was warm, and the atmosphere was very friendly. Thanks to Anja's expertise and the exercises, I learned a lot about video creation and conducting interviews. It was a truly enriching and educational experience!
Maeva, student
Anja’s video editing workshop was really helpful for me. For years I’ve wanted to dive into video editing but haven’t had the chance. The workshop is concise, clear, and to the point, so I feel much better equipped now to develop my editing skills.
Tristan Barber, actor
Anja's course is nicely designed and well executed. It provides the necessary knowledge to start editing video material. A significant advantage is being in a small group where I could get all the answers to my questions. I learned a lot and recommend it to anyone working with video clips.
Zoran Kovac, veterinarian
I followed two workshops with Anja and they taught me a lot! It really helps to do practical exercises and be able to ask questions and get feedback. It's also very nice to meet other people with similar interests, and Anja makes it very pleasant and cosy working together.
IGOR, Anti-Racism Policy Officer
I highly recommend Anja's courses, 200%! In just two days, you can learn how to conduct a video interview with ambient shots or edit a video using professional software. Anja gives us all the tricks and tips to avoid common beginner mistakes. The small group size is perfect for learning. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. It makes me want to dive into all the projects I've been dreaming about. I'll definitely be back.
LANDILA MUKUMAYA, Project manager in music industry
Anja was 100% involved during the two weeks of our training residency in Senegal. She has built a tailor-made educational program for young professionals who come from all regions to take part in its training module. I sincerely hope that we can continue the collaboration.
France Morin, Director of Art Management Agency
She has a lot of experience with video editing and knows very well how to pass on her knowledge. The lesions are practical and pleasant.
Ruben Diaz
Super teacher! Professional, attentive and adapts to our needs / requests.
LOLALIZA, Graphic designer
Pleasant personality and good expertise! Anja is fun and energetic, skillful and able to communicate her knowledge extremely well in a short time.
Katherina, student
Anja shared with us her knowledge in videomaking. I especially appreciated the fact that she takes her time to explain and follow the exercises closely. I would highly recommend her workshops.
Clotilde, EU delegation in Benin
I first met Anja Strelec at a communication seminar in Conakry (Guinea) in 2019, where she shared with us her rich experience in making videos, processing and editing. Anja is full of energy and very professional and I continued to follow her work in different fields as well.
Omar, EU delegation in Niger
