Participatory Video is an alternative to corporate-owned journalism 📹

90% of the UK news outlets are owned by multi-millionaires 🤢

❌ The Rothermere family own DMG Media, publishers of the Daily Mail, New Scientists and Metro

❌ News UK, owned by the Murdoch Family, publish the The Sunday Times, the Sun, and News of the world, and Sky

❌ Reach, a stakeholder owned company publishes the Daily Mirror, Daily Express and Daily Star

Democracy needs informed citizens, independent media is a prerequisite for this.

Participatory Video is an alternative to profit-making media companies. It strengthens democracy by bringing communities together and facilitates sensitive conversations.

It gives marginalised communities a voice to speak up for themselves.

Media by the people, for the people

PVMSC is a way of combining Participatory Video and Most Significant Change, where participants evaluate a development programme by deciding as a group what stories reflect the most significant change and filming them collaboratively.

Through the Sports for Education and Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa programme, we supported the Deaf Outreach Program, a Kenyan NGO that supports deaf young people through sign language training, mental health support, and sports.

DEAFOP incorporated PVMSC to evaluate their project, where young people use volleyball and vocational training to support their education and employability skills...

PVMSC is boiled down to these steps:

1. Train people in Participatory Video through filming, games, and facilitated discussions
2. Choose stories of most significant change through a story circle
3. Film and edit these stories using PV
4. Identify all themes coming up in the films
5. Cluster themes based on challenges, enablers, and changes

PVMSC creates a deep understanding of the programme’s outcomes, shortcomings and successes to support bottom-up learning.

Thank you to our partners Laureus, the Olympics and the AFD - Agence Française de Développement 👏

The Syrian war lasted for over 13 years, causing one of the worst humanitarian and aid crises of the century.

In 2018, with the ongoing war, we trained a team from Hand in Hand for Aid and Development in Participatory Video. What resulted was years of PV empowering vulnerable communities in Syria to tell their own stories.
