This handbook is a practical guide to setting up and running Participatory Video (PV) projects anywhere in the world.  Participatory Video is a tool for positive social change; it empowers the marginalized; and it encourages individuals and communities to take control of their destinies.

Here you will find the nuts and bolts of Participatory Video: from how to set up a new project, to the key games and activities to use. Helpful tips for the facilitator clarify how to use video to encourage a lively, democratic process and not just a means to an end.  The authors draw on nearly two decades of experience of facilitating Participatory Video projects in the field, and share case studies and useful anecdotes, as well as responses to their work from diverse sources. The key messages are further highlighted by illustrations, cartoons and photographs.

A Handbook for the Field' has been supported by UNDP Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) HURIST (Human Rights Division) CSO (Civil Society Division) PROLINNOVA COMPAS T the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) This is such an excellent piece of work, accessible, clear, original, and inspiring. It fills a gap. It is an education to people like me who have only seen PV from afar. It deserves wide publicity and dissemination, and many readers for whom it will be an invitation to creativity, opening up a new dimension, new activities, a new repertoire of good things to do. So thanks and congratulations. Dr Robert Chambers, IDS, University of Sussex, UK. Read full review
