With Your Own Voice is an European project that contributes to the communicative democratization in Europe through participative video by creating a space that includes the discourses and realities of migrant and culturally diverse youth: the construction of independent participation space communities, focusing on local issues of interest and facilitating public platforms for dialogue.
To achieve the project aim, we want to promote cultural diversity, encourage cultural dehierarchization, and facilitate tools for empowerment with a horizontal focus.
On this platform, you can find an educational methodology guide to apply this methodology to your own project as well as documentaries made by youngsters from all over the world in workshops held in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
During the project, we have been facilitating workshops hand in hand with audiovisual experts. During these workshops, the participants got the opportunity to learn both theoretical and technical knowledge about documentary filmmaking to work on their ideas. Through a democratic process of selection, we chose from the topics proposed for the participants and split into groups to develop their ideas and shoot their documentaries.
During the process, participants get empowered and learn the force of the audiovisual tool as a way to change narratives.
After having tested the methodology with 20 different groups, we proceed to create the methodological guide that is now being tested so you can use it for free very soon to apply this methodology in your community.
