11 Reflective Evaluation Study Lost Analogue project Assessing learning experience s DEMOGRAPHICS OF SURVEY PARTICIPANTS The survey conducted among the participants of the LOST ANALOGUE project revealed a diverse group of individuals in terms of age, gender, and professional background. A total of 38 people participated in the survey , with 22 identifying as men and 16 as women, ensuring a relatively balanced gender distribution. In terms of age, the participants ranged across six different age groups, with the majority falling into the younger categories. Twelve participants were aged between 18 and 25 years, and another twel ve were between 26 and 35. The rest of the participants were spread across older age brackets, with five participants aged 36 to 45, two participants aged 46 to 55, three between 56 and 65, and four participants aged 65 and over. This wide age distribution contributed to a w i de variety of perspectives, which was particularly valuable in the interdisciplinary nature of the project. The geographic distribution of survey respondents with 26 responses from Romania, 9 from Hungary, and smaller numbers from France (2 responses ) and the Netherlands (1 response ) highlights the transnational nature of the project. This diversity reflects the projects goal of integrating various cultural and professional perspectives, enriching both the creative and educational dimensions of the collaboration. However, the higher number of Romanian participants can be attributed to the projects roots in the so - called Celluloid Workshop, an art initiative originally coordinated by the Association of Hungarian Filmmakers in Transylvania (ACMT) under the direction of Rbert Lakatos. As the initial workshop grew into this larger project, its Romanian base naturally influe nced participant demographics, making Romania the primary contributor while still fostering international collaboration. The timeline of the participants involvement in the creative process of the LOST ANALOGUE project spanned several years, with increasing engagement as the project progressed. While some participants had been involved as early as 2018 (10 participants), 2019 (8 participants), and 2020 (6 participants), the project saw a significant rise in parti cipation over time, with 11 people involved in 2021, 8 in 2022, 24 in 2023, and 27 in 2024. This growing involvement was largely due to the expanding opportunities f or participation as the project gained EU support from the Erasmus+ programme , particularly in relation to the innovative filmmaking processes. When the participants joined the project, they held a variety of professional statuses, further underscoring the interdisciplinary nature of the initiative. Twenty - one young professionals participated, 17 of whom were involved in film production, while 4 c ontributed to the music - making and composition
