Channel: InsightShare
Date: 2021-12-13

How can participatory video be used as a tool for Indigenous peoples to engage and mobilise their communities?

On November 24th 2021, InsightShare led the fifth Video4Change Learning Session titled “Participatory Video as a Tool for Re-Connection, Regeneration and Resilience.” In this session recording, Sabine Hellmann (Senior Associate UK) shares her experience facilitating participatory video training to 38 Indigenous youth and women from 6 different communities across Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia and South Africa.

The session explores the implementation, innovations, challenges, and resulting impacts of InsightShare’s Living Cultures Indigenous Fellowship program. The program trains indigenous peoples to use communication technologies for self-determination, self-representation, and positive local action. Through the fellowship, participants learn how to use digital tools such as video cameras, phones, and radio, empowering them to build a stronger indigenous media network.
