^{Online Training: From story collection to video for monitoring, evaluation and learning}

Facili2transform provides online training and coaching to monitoring & evaluation experts and officers to build their capacities in applying video and digital storytelling skills for their job. Focus of the training is on how to apply the Most Significant Change story technique in capturing stories. Currently, there is an increasing demand from organisations and donors to show and share videos for dialogue and discussion. Therefore, Facili2transform fulfills this need in enabling M & E experts to obtain this expertise for their work.

For me the benefit of attending Simon's Participatory Video making course is threefold: (i) I have learned how to properly plan a video by making a story board before shooting raw video footage, (ii) I learned the basics of video editing and (iii) I got personal advice on a draft video that I produced.

Participatory video to kick-off the dialogue about 'The future of work'

During the summer of 2019, professionals participating in the 'Art of Agile' network developed a script and a story about 'the Future of Work'. On the 27th September, 2019 a short film was shot about the 'Computer of the Future'. Watch the movie;

The story tells from the perspective of 1984, when people in a company look 35 years forward on how the future of 2019 will look like. This film formed the kick-off of the 'Art of Agile' meeting about 'The Future of Work', which was held on the 3rd December, 2019 where all participants contributed towards a joint piece of Art visualizing 'The Future of Work' in 2055, 2090 and 2125.

We are using video in our M & E system!

Simon started working with us to train grantees in participatory video. Amazingly, with the first training week participants produced 5 stakeholder videos of 5 minutes each, and had shared these in support of community dialogue about basic service improvements. We were all impressed with the empowering effect of participatory video. With Simon's recommendations, we have started using the video content in our M & E system (behavior change and service improvement results).
