Empowering Communities Through Participatory Video

Catherine Setchell interviews Nick Lunch (Co-Founder & Director, InsightShare) during the IFIP Annual Conference and the 5th UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

On May 25th, InsightShare launched a handbook on Participatory Video at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) to an audience of over 100 indigenous delegates, NGOs, agencies and government representatives. As part of the Forum’s side-event, Nick Lunch facilitated an introductory training in Participatory Video to 15 indigenous delegates. Video messages were made by the indigenous delegates on their hopes, challenges and concerns faced at the UNPFII, which were then aired to the Forum.
