Knowledge Exchange

Inspiring Others

I seek dialogue with practitioners and academics, sharing experiences and methodologies, so together we might flourish whilst promoting positive change in the world. I facilitate workshops and symposiums, bringing together practitioners and academics to promote knowledge exchange.

​

Symposium of Ethnographic and Participatory Documentary for Social Change

​

This two-day symposium explored how ethnographic and participatory documentary may be positively affecting people's lives and environments around the world, whilst questioning the very concept of sustainable development. International practitioners and academics shared their experiences of ethnographic and participatory filmmaking as an action promoting positive change. Speakers presented real-life examples, describing methodologies and reflecting on impact.
