This intensive and rigorous 6-day course will cover everything you need to know to design and facilitate your first participatory video projects. Our trainings are designed around principles of experiential learning: employing a wide range of techniques that enhance creativity, sharing, reflection and learning. During the course, you will have the opportunity to experience, explore and practice a wide range of games and group exercises. The course includes sessions that focus on developing basic technical editing skills as well as sessions that address the unique approaches to editing within the context of participatory video projects. Although knowledge of digital editing will be helpful, the course is suitable for trainees with little or no prior experience of computer‐based editing.
