Course: Participatory Video (PV) for Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL). Module 7
2023, May 24 @ 10:00 - 11:30
WHEN: This training will take place each Wednesday from April 12th until June 7th, from 10-11.30 am CEST
WHY: Much too often, others – usually the project delivery staff – are reporting on the project results on behalf of participants. Furthermore, these stories tend to be recorded in written format, meaning that in contexts of low literacy, the stories are being recorded in a medium that is inaccessible to the actually involved population. Using Participatory Video, selected stories are recorded on video by participants themselves, making the information accessible and useable.
Using PV can help participants tell their stories and communicate their perspectives in an accessible, compelling and versatile format through a participatory process. We will use PV in combination with (an adapted version of) the Most Significant Change technique in order to gain valuable insights on Monitoring and Evaluation.
This course will run over 9 sessions. Each session will be 1.5 hours, in which we will give a theoretical overview, we will explain practical PV exercises that are fun and participatory for you to repeat in your own projects, will have brief brainstorming sessions and there will be a short homework session.
Throughout these 9 modules, we will dive into the ´why´ participatory video and how this is different from other participatory methods and/or documentary filmmaking. We will touch upon the ethics and challenges of facilitating a PV process and how to deal with difficult situations. After this, we will focus on the crossroads of PV and M&E and go through the different steps and exercises. We will end with how to conduct a participatory paper edit and how to disseminate the final video.
WHO: This training course will be given by Manon Koningstein, an independent consultant on audiovisual communications with multiple years of experience in conducting PV courses and training with CGIAR as well as with InsightShare.
WHOM: We invite the Communication focal points as well as M&E officers of the interested DeSIRA projects to attend.
