Participatory Video in a Nutshell

• Participants rapidly learn how to use video equipment through games & exercises.
• Facilitators help groups identify & analyse important issues in their community by adapting a range of PLA-type tools with Participatory Video techniques.
• Short videos & messages are directed & filmed by  participants.
• Footage is shared with the wider community at daily screenings.
• A dynamic process of community-led learning, sharing and exchange is set in motion.
• Communities are involved to varying degrees in editing their films, but they always have full editorial control
• Completed films can be used for horizontal and vertical communication
