<p>Another field visit has passed like the wind. It left rich learning behind for all of us: for you and me. It’s been a pleasure really to hear local facilitators in Guyana, Cameroon, South Africa and the Philippines reflect on the legacy and sustainability of Participatory Video in their communities, alongside <a href="http://pure.rhul.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/jay-mistry%2821cb3408-1419-4ec2-9b70-bcf46c0bfac4%29.html" rel="nofollow">Jay Mistry</a> from…</p>

<p>In case you missed the web gathering, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youtu.be/XmfcgYsviHk">here</a> you can listen to the main room, which includes a Q&A breakout session with Jay, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youtu.be/rWbcGiX7ukc">here</a> you can access the Q&A breakout session with Chris.</p>
<p><strong>What did we learn about Legacy & Sustainability from each case study?</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://projectcobra.org/">COBRA</a> – EU-funded project working with indigenous groups in the Guiana Shield of South America, looking to identify and share community-owned solutions to natural resource management.</p>
<ul>
<li>Trained local researchers in Guyana</li>
<li>Indigenous researchers worked in their own communities</li>
<li>Guyana team and EU team trained others in Surinam, French Guyana, Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia</li>
<li>PV team in Guyana employed under the local partner: North Rupununi District Development Board (NRDDB)</li>
</ul>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sustainability – 5 key ingredients for maintenance, support, survival:</span></em></p>
<ol>
<li>It’s crucial the role of local facilitators</li>
<li>Commitment of local facilitators to make things happen despite difficulties (like power cuts during the web gathering!)</li>
<li>Long-term engagement with the community to generate trust & ownership. Jay has worked in the area for 15 years and since 2007 with some of the local PV team members.</li>
<li>Local partner with long-term relationship with the community and interest in PV.</li>
<li>Plans for the future: test social enterprise model; train other community members through a course in the local school; support NRDDB to integrate PV in their work.</li>
</ol>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Legacy – 5 benefits provided to the community; benefits for future generations:</span></em></p>
<ol>
<li>Young people engaged</li>
<li>Bridged inter-generational gap</li>
<li>Passed PV on to other communities and countries!</li>
<li>Shared community-owned solutions across communities and countries to inspire others</li>

<p>“We as a team here are prepared to take it forward and share our skills, knowledge and train more of our people.” Lakeram, Guyana.</p>
<p>The <em><strong>Future</strong></em> in Guyana includes community radio, participatory video and photography integrated into the community development activities.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightshare.org/pv/how-we-work">InsightShare</a> – 200 projects and 15 years of experience delivering Participatory Video projects and capacity building, aiming at long-term legacy and sustainability.</p>
<ul>
<li>Intention to maximise the energy of a small team so interventions have the deepest impact possible</li>
<li>Start of the journey: PV projects facilitated by InsightShare team directly with communities</li>
<li>How do we get passed that? 3-stage Capacity building model developed in the last 10 years.</li>
<li>Who becomes a facilitator? Essential to include community members as part of trainings and not just NGO staff for local continuity</li>
<li>Community-owned <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightshare.org/hubs/list">Hubs</a>: capacity building only at community level</li>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Sustainability – 5 key ingredients for maintenance, support, survival:</em></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Raising funds locally to buy equipment in Cameroon and South Africa.</li>
<li>Generation of funds using PV products as part of campaigns in the Philippines.</li>
<li>Ongoing challenge: fundraising & income generation in South Africa.</li>
<li>3 models: social enterprise (South Africa), unit in a large indigenous NGO (Philippines), PV as umbrella approach in a small indigenous NGO (Cameroon)</li>
<li>Fellowship model: Keidy from the Philippines becoming InsightShare Associate.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Legacy – 5 benefits provided to the community; benefits for future generations:</em></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Increased engagement of community members and external stakeholders in Cameroon and dialogue across communities in the Philippines.</li>
<li>Accountability a reality: teachers attendance in Cameroon and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightshare.org/watch/video/waiting-water">water provision</a> in South Africa.</li>
<li>PV acting as overall umbrella of programming in Cameroon and South Africa and in advocacy campaigns in the Philippines.</li>
<li>Increased youth engagement in Cameroon, South Africa and the Philippines.</li>

</ol>
<p>“PV allowed us to build solid relationships even at the government level.” Messe, Cameroon.</p>
<p>The <em><strong>Future</strong></em> at InsightShare includes training <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightshare.org/fellowship-programme">fellows</a> who are already change makers in their communities to add PV to their toolbox; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insightshare.org/community-screenings-participatory-video-guide">publications</a>, webinars and training to feed into the global PV movement; and a PV app to lower the entry level to PV and allow a self-initiated process by a group.</p>
<p>A fascinating field trip for me and hopefully for you as well! Send us your feedback to betterpvpractice@<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">insightshare.org</span></p>
