Rio de Janeiro, Participatory Video to Promote Youth Dialogue on Intelligent Mobility
Rio de Janeiro 2
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A project by:
This is the second year that Proplaneta collaborates with the Youth Dialogue on Mobility project.
Context: Rio de Janeiro is preparing for 2 major events - The Olympics and World Cup. Public transportation is key, not only for these international gatherings, but specially for the millions of citizens that commute everyday. This is a project by Fetranspor Social in partnership with PARES that aims to put forward the youth vision of change and action required to make life smoother in Rio and its surroundings.
During the second semester of 2013, 60 youth will meet up to discuss their ideas on problems, opportunities and potential solutions for Rio's mobility. Different participatory methods will be applied to facilitate discussions. Proplaneta is leading all participatory video activities.
Three different groups of around 12 youth (age 19 -24) will be empowered to produce three participatory videos on different themes withdrawn from the large discussions, and elected by the PV participants.
The first participatory video training happened in July on "Dream versus Reality of Public Transportation in Rio".
The second happened in September on "The individualist culture as an obstacle for urban mobility". The third will happen in November upon a newly elected theme.
All videos are edited on a participatory approach.
In November, two representants of each PV group will be working together for jointly editing "The Best of Youth Dialogue PVs in 2013". They will choose amongst all footage and interviews, the best content that will form the fourth participatory video.
This "Best of Participatory Video" will be presented at the Youth Dialogue final gathering that will take place on December 3rd. Special guests and stakeholders representing the public transportation system of Rio are expected to attend this special day.
The PVs will be jointly released in mid November. Please come back to check them out.
Participatory-video definitions and applications
Participatory Video is
a participatory education and communication tool where the social process behind the technology and the video making is more important than the final product, and that, drives the change.
'Participatory Video is an exciting and innovative way of allowing people to express their achievements and aspirations through the medium of film. PV empowers communities, demystifying the tool of video-making and turning it over to them. It is the community members themselves who do the filming - they choose what to film, and what to say.'
Chris Lunch (2005)
'Participatory Video: The video training has tremendous value as it comes at a time when women are required to communicate more widely, their experiences and expertise in permaculture, empowerment and leadership training. Handling the camera also gives visibility in the community and empowers the women to document the stories of the community.'
P V Sateesh, Deccan Development Society, India
'We define Participatory Video as a scriptless video production process, directed by a group of grassroots people, moving forward in interactive cycles of shooting reviewing and aiming at creating video narratives that communicate what those who participate in the process really want to communicate, in a way that they think is appropriate.'

Kolasin, Montenegro
A project by:
In February 2013 Proplaneta worked with Montenegro Red Cross facilitating a participatory video with a group of 10 Red Cross Youth volunteers age 14-19 of Kolasin town.The youth produced a participatory video reflecting how the community, the Red Cross, NGO's and local government are together fighting and preparing some of the climate change impacts the region is suffering, such as stronger floods, water shortage, landslides and snow storms.
They learned how to identify which messages where important and how to film and report them.
Their video was screened at the main school in a room full of teens just like them. The power of participatory video screening is that it promotes student-to-student education on a informal atmosphere and dynamic way.
The youth filmmakers hit the national news! Many stories on their video were published!
