Why use participatory video

Because it is a tool for communication and dialogue, advocacy, intercultural understanding, peace building, healing processes and social change.

Organisations commission our projects for:

• Documentation of programmes

• Research and insights

• Training and skills development

• Programme implementation

• Monitoring and evaluation

How do we work

We use film and media to spark empathy and challenge norms. Sharing powerful human stories that inspire change.

We equip individuals and organisations with the tools to tell their own stories. Shifting narratives, amplifying diverse perspectives and driving sustainable change.

Shaped by lived experience, local knowledge and collaboration, our approach is inclusive, community-led, and ethically grounded.

Who we work with

As a non-profit creative collective, we collaborate with charities, NGOs, local authorities, and institutions across the cultural, educational, and international development sectors.

What we offer

• Participatory video workshops to foster dialogue, reflection, and exchange.

• Train-the-trainer programmes in filmmaking and participatory methods to ensure sustainability.

• Strategic support to enhance outreach, dissemination, and impact.

• Versatile project design for use in documentation, research, training, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

What do participants and organisations get

• Participants learn hands-on filmmaking skills to explore issues - from environmental conservation to gender equality, from displacement and migration to human rights.

• Collaborative production challenges social norms, surfaces diverse perspectives and cultivates intercultural relations.

• Public screening events raise awareness and offer a platform for debate in the community and with decision-makers.

• Self-representation &knowledge production - the films serve not only as a vehicle for communication, but also as a form of community representation, offering broader audiences an insider’s perspective.
