This animation explains the process and ethos behind the Participatory Video methodology, as practiced by InsightShare. Using simple drawings, reminiscent of the storyboards created by participants, the process of community authored video for change is detailed from conception to creation and beyond. If you are interested in practicing PV yourself you will find many useful resources available to download from our site; www.insightshare.org, including our popular 'Insights into Participatory Video: A Handbook for the Field' and much more available to download for free.
InsightShare uses Participatory Video as a tool for individuals and groups to grow in self-confidence and trust, and to build skills to act for change. Our Participatory Video methods value local knowledge, build bridges between communities and decision-makers, and enable people to develop greater control over the decisions affecting their lives.
