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 Jay Mistry from Royal Holloway University of London and Chris Lunch from InsightShare.
In case you missed the web gathering, here you can listen to the main room, which includes a Q&A breakout session with Jay, and here you can access the Q&A breakout session with Chris.
What did we learn about Legacy & Sustainability from each case study?
COBRA – 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.
Sustainability – 5 key ingredients for maintenance, support, survival:
Legacy – 5 benefits provided to the community; benefits for future generations:
“We as a team here are prepared to take it forward and share our skills, knowledge and train more of our people.” Lakeram, Guyana.
The Future in Guyana includes community radio, participatory video and photography integrated into the community development activities.
InsightShare – 200 projects and 15 years of experience delivering Participatory Video projects and capacity building, aiming at long-term legacy and sustainability.
Listen to Messe from Cameroon; Nevile, Hylton and Tami from South Africa; and Keidy from the Philippines talking about their experiences.
Sustainability – 5 key ingredients for maintenance, support, survival:
Legacy – 5 benefits provided to the community; benefits for future generations:
“PV allowed us to build solid relationships even at the government level.” Messe, Cameroon.
The Future at InsightShare includes training fellows who are already change makers in their communities to add PV to their toolbox; publications, 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.
A fascinating field trip for me and hopefully for you as well! Send us your feedback to betterpvpractice@insightshare.org

Dear Soledad,
Thank you for sharing this interesting video on participatory videos. I can see clearly how communities can have a louder voice on what really concerns them in society and politics by using video to tell their story. And how this can create bridges with other groups who are struggling with the same issues, to get inspired, to see change is possible, and to learn from each other, start talking and sharing.
I am definitely inspired by this great initiative and we will explore with the Mauritian team what we can learn from you for the Mauritian context. We have already started to collect the first stories of change from Mauritius, you are welcome to take a look at: http://aidscompetence.ning.com/page/ilemaurice
Your video inspired us for our road...
Warm greetings from this beautiful Island to you!
