Insights into Participatory Video: A Handbook for the Field

Insights into Participatory Video: A Handbook for the Field

[2006] This handbook was written by InsightShare’s directors Nick and Chris Lunch as a practical guide to setting up and running Participatory Video projects. The booklet illustrates the nuts and bolts of Participatory Video: from how to set up a new project, to the key games and activities to use. Helpful tips for the facilitator clarify how to use video for positive social change, to empower the marginalized and encourage individuals and communities to take control of their destinies.

The authors draw on nearly two decades of experience of facilitating Participatory Video projects in the field, and share case studies and useful anecdotes, as well as responses to their work from diverse sources. The key messages are further highlighted by illustrations, cartoons and photographs.
