		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to reader Naomi Sunderland for writing in with a link to 1000 Voices &#8211; a project gathering first person stories of people living with disabilities in Australia to use in disability research, advocacy and policy change. Hosted at Griffith University and sponsored by a range of government and non-government orgs, the project is aiming to gather the stories of 1000 people living with disabilities. The stories so far are mainly text based &#8211; sometimes transcriptions of interviews accompanied by some images, but there is capacity to post multi-media works and video. From the USA comes a project with the same name &#8211; the 1000 voices archive &#8211; which is an online archive and tool for social advocacy. The video vignettes have either been drawn from larger films on particular topics, or are short form films made specifically for the 1000 voices archive project. The Australian 1000 Voices project is linked to a research project, so the stories are forming data for the research. The US archive is well resourced with tools about the themes taken up in each story &#8211; such as laws supporting paid parental leave, or campaigns to deal with new coal power plants being built on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Checkout the newest offering from the Neighborhood Story Project in New Orleans: &#8220;After a season of writing workshops on the backside of the Fair Grounds, the Neighborhood Story Project has produced an exhibition of open letters written by jockeys, trainers, grooms, hotwalkers, veterinarians and track employees&#8230; Each year, more than 700 workers arrive in October and leave after the Louisiana Derby at the end of March. In this project, the writers have documented the joys and struggles of the horseracing world during the months in between. The exhibit includes handmade letter boxes with copies of the letters that can be taken home to read more about the months of work and planning that go into creating the racing glory that lasts less than two minutes.&#8221; See the NSP website to read one of the letters and for details on the exhibition, or read the article written on the project in the New York Times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Out of South Australia comes the newest incarnation of Big Stories Small Towns, a project in which resident film makers have made portrait films about people in the communities of Port Augusta, Murray Bridge and Raukkan. There are also some films made by community members themselves, these are well worth having a look at, with a more personal, less documentary tone. The films are all available on the web and form a patchwork portrait of the places and the themes that run through communities. Also an interesting link in the world of participatory media, one of the Big Stories producers, Martin Potter, also worked on the Cambodian part of the NFBC High Rise project&#8230; www.bigstories.com.au]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing I love about the interweb is the way that people are sharing their skills, knowledge and methods with each other to further  creative practices, rather than focusing on profit&#8230; Using creative commons licenses Curiousworks has developed an online toolkit for artists, educators, media makers, community organisers with very practical step by step workshop designs, articles and other material that they use in their participatory media making work. Its all up there for you to draw on and adapt&#8230;  ideas and methods for working with groups on all sorts of aspects of participatory media making, such as strategies for developing topics in a group, games and workshops for skill development and project planning, articles on different techy stuff like video formats and using different kinds of software&#8230; and much much more. Follow the link below and see what might be useful to your own practice: http://toolkit.curiousworks.com.au/]]></description>

The Stories Project &#8211; hosted by Curious Works in collaboration with Martu Media has brought together young film makers from the western desert and refugees living in western Sydney to make their own media and create a dialogue through video exchange. You can read about the project here and see videos posted on the Stories Project online channel here.]]></description>

This exhibition features 3 of the films made by young film makers during the project, representing their experiences and lives as refugees. The films are shown with the permission of the film makers, and the exhibition is accompanied by a two part interview with participatory video facilitator Marie-Eve Leduc about her experience of facilitating the Stars of Bethlehem project and supporting the making of video by the young participants.

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 2 on Marie-Eve Leduc’s work with Participatory Video and her 2007 work running a PV project with 6 Palestinian youths in Bethlehem, Marie-Eve talks about her motivations and approach to PV and reflects on how her own identity as foreign facilitator may have influenced the direction of the youth’s films, despite efforts to minimise this influence. You can read Part 1 on Marie-Eve’s work here. Marie-Eve was influenced in her PV approach by other Participatory Video practitioners, such as Nick &#38; Chris Lunch and InsightShare PV model, however she adapted and changed the approach to suit her goals for the project. “My primary objectives were never to use films as a negotiation tool to stimulate communication between a community and its policy-makers. I was basically concerned to discover and understand how young Palestinian refugees perceive their world and represent themselves through films. I was interested in their personal visual narratives recounting their life experiences as Palestinian refugee and adolescents. I chose to work with a model of individual film-making, but I maintained the idea of the ‘group’. This means that we had group workshops, discussions and brainstorming but in the end, the six members of the group had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in what I hope will be a series about artists and practitioners who bring together collaborative ethnography and art. This first feature is about Participatory Video practitioner Marie-Eve Leduc. It is accompanied by an exhibition in Side by Side Online Galleries of 3 of the films made by young Palestinian refugees in a project that Marie-Eve facilitated. Click here to visit the exhibition. I first came across Marie-Eve’s work when I was shown a copy of her film “Stars Of Bethlehem” which is a documentary about a Participatory Video (PV) project she ran in Bethlehem with Palestinian refugees in 2007. At that time she made the film, Marie-Eve was a student in the Masters of Visual Culture Studies at the University Tromso, in Norway. Marie-Eve calls Stars of Bethlehem a ‘mosaic’ film which was made as part of the examination process for her training.  To me there is great strength in the films ability to reveal aspects of the process of collaboration and the nature of the relationships which enabled 6 young people to make their own films. As practitioners of participatory and collaborative projects, such insights into other peoples experience are rare, and invaluable. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the growing tradition of using participatory photography as a tool in the empowerment of marginalised young people, the searching for eldorado project (procurando eldorado in Portugues), which happened in Sao Paolo, Brazil in 2004/05, got young people (10-18 yrs) from that community to create a picture portrait of their community using digital photography. As the project website says, &#8220;the primary aim of the project was not to teach the participants photographic or digital skills, although they undoubtedly learnt much about these areas, to which the majority had not been previously exposed. The basis of the project was a series of group discussions about the community and the places, people and things within it that were important to the young people involved. Within these discussions ideas about representation and self-representation were raised and the dominant media image of Eldorado, and other marginalised communities, as relentlessly violent and hopeless brought into question.&#8221; Utilising the power of citizen journalism which digital cameras and the distribution tool that is the internet can provide this project is an example of the ways in which NGOs and other organisations seek to support alternative media representations of marginalised communities using participatory photography. The images from this project [...]]]></description>
