The purpose of participatory video is to stimulate a dynamic of change that emanates from within. Through self-expression and self-exploration within a group or community, a movement of co-creation and co-production of a collective object stimulates personal or social change and causes an oil stain effect within the larger group.
Participatory video is a great tool that reveals individuals and groups to themselves. It helps to develop self-confidence and capacity building. Participatory video is also a valuable method for providing information for decision-making. It is useful for the evaluation of development programmes, social science research, or any objective that requires a detailed knowledge of a particular issue, group or territory. Indeed, the endogenous nature of audiovisual materials collected during a participatory video process is a formidable resource for qualitative analysis. Treated through our expertise in social sciences, they make it possible to provide our partners, in addition to audiovisual media, with detailed qualitative analyses and reports.
