Introduction

‘Most significant change stories’ support and provide in-depth knowledge about changes created. The availability of mobile devices and virtual conferencing tools has provided opportunities to capture video and photo-voice stories from remote areas, where humanitarian workers have limited access.

This online training includes little theory and a lot of practice. The art of video making is to translate a story into a movie by capturing images. How does a good video or photo-voice story look like? How do you develop a story? What approach to use for collecting ‘ most significant change stories’? How do you translate this story into a short movie? How to find opportunities to work with local videomakers for your intervention? During this online training you will get acquainted on how to tell a ‘most significant change story’ by video images or photos and how to organize this.

Participants will be asked to use their own camera and laptop, so that they can become familiar with their own equipment and immediately apply their lessons after the training. The training will be very practical. It is based on the principles of action learning. 'Doing, doing, reflection, getting feedback and doing, reflection and feedback.'

Reference Quote

The videomaking provided us an opportunity to present ourselves!

I have met Simon almost 7 years ago while I was in high school. The great opportunity at that time was learning from the international trainers and their experience on how to build and maintain together the community. Step by step we got closer to the subject of filmmaking, In this way it gave us the opportunity to represent ourselves and show our contribution to the society we belong to. Simon has been leading the group of young people by giving his great ideas and support in order to produce and harvest the best pieces of our daily activity through the camera lens
