Insights into Participatory Video

This is a video about the tool of participatory video, used by the organisation InsightShare. This introductory video features examples from InsightShare projects in Nigeria, Peru, Malawi, India, Rwanda, United Kingdom, Uganda, China, South Africa, and Ghana.

"Insights into Participatory Video" explains participatory video and how InsightShare has used this method to enable various groups and communities to tell their own stories in their own words. It describes the basic participatory video process, the decision-making stages, community-based screenings, and use of the resulting video messages as advocacy tools for a variety of audiences.

"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....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."
