Training on “Video for Change”

The training that conducted at 20 – 24 June 2011 was designed as practical guide to setting up and running participatory video projects, opened for anyone who wishes to use video for community works. The training focused on developing participatory video methodologies.  AJAR hope it will further spread awareness of participatory video, clarify how it is done, and encourage others to use it and to develop it further. 

The content of the training presented participatory video as a  set of techniques to involve a group or community in the process of sharing and creating their own film. It can be seen as a very good way of bringing people together to explore a particular issue, to voice concern or to tell a story. This process can be very empowering, enabling a group or community to take action to solve their own problems and also to communicate their needs and ideas to decision makers and/or other groups and communities.”
