This is a comprehensive guide to using video in group development work. Used in a participatory way, video can be a powerful tool, which allows clients to examine the world around them, gain awareness of their situation and become more actively involved in decisions which affect their lives. Based on an innovative approach researched over twelve years, the book sets out a complete programme for workers in a range of social work, community, education and health settings.

Used in a participatory way, video can be a powerful tool which allows group members to examine the world around them, gain awareness of the situation and become more actively involved in decisions which affect them.  Through hands-on use of the equipment they develop the confidence to speak for themselves, and they access a means of communicating their ideas by working creatively together to record their own videos.
