What is Participatory Video?
Participatory Video is a set of techniques to involve a group or community in shaping and creating their own film. The idea behind this is that making a video is easy and accessible, and is a great way of bringing people together to explore issues, voice concerns or simply to be creative and tell stories. This process can be very empowering, enabling a group or community to see improvements and also to communicate their needs and ideas to decision-makers and/or other groups and communities. As such, PV can be a highly effective tool to engage and mobilise people helping them implement their own forms of sustainable development based on local needs.
The inclusion of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and consensus making processes into our approach helps to foster a safe space for deep sharing between people and our energisers and team building games promote a fun and fully experiential learning environment.
